How scoring works

Your GenReady report analyses your page across multiple dimensions and produces scores at three levels: individual metrics, two main categories, and an overall AI Readiness score.

Overall AI Readiness score (0-100)

Your overall score is a 50/50 blend of your Content score and your Crawlability score:

AI Readiness = 50% Content + 50% Crawlability

Score range	Rating	What it means
85-100	Pass	Your page is well-optimized for AI crawlers and answer engines
50-84	Warn	Solid foundation with room for improvement in specific areas
0-49	Fail	Significant issues preventing AI from accessing or understanding your content

Content score

The Content score evaluates the quality and structure of your page content. It is made up of five weighted categories:

Category	Weight	What it measures
Density	35%	How information-rich your content is (entity density, claim density, filler words)
Factuality	25%	Use of citations and topical consistency (outbound links, semantic cohesion)
Structure	20%	How well your content is organized (heading hierarchy, tables/lists, schema markup)
Freshness	10%	How recently your content was published or updated (excluded for homepages, product pages, landing pages, FAQ pages, and other non-article page types — weight redistributes to remaining categories)
Originality	10%	How unique and non-generic your content is

Crawlability score (0-100)

The Crawlability score measures whether AI bots can actually reach and read your content. It checks things like HTTPS, robots.txt, response speed, sitemap, JavaScript rendering, and more.

Some issues act as hard caps on your Crawlability score. For example, if your robots.txt blocks all AI crawlers, your Crawlability score cannot go above 10 regardless of other factors.

Score range	What it means
85-100	Excellent crawlability - your site is well-optimized for AI agents
60-84	Good crawlability with room for improvement
30-59	Significant issues - AI agents may have difficulty accessing your content
0-29	Critical failures - AI agents are likely blocked from your content

Individual metrics (0-10)

Each category contains specific metrics scored on a 0-10 scale. These are shown with a status label:

Score	Status	What it means
8-10	Pass	This area is in good shape
4-7	Average	There is room for improvement
0-3	Fail	This area needs attention

How to read your report

1. Start with the overall score - get the big picture
2. Check Content and Crawlability - identify which half is pulling your score down
3. Look at failing metrics (red) - these are your highest-impact improvement opportunities
4. Read the recommendations - each metric includes specific advice on how to improve
5. Prioritize Crawlability first - if AI bots cannot reach your content, nothing else matters

Score calculations

Scores are calculated by analysing the actual content of your page - not estimated or approximated. GenReady fetches your page the same way an AI crawler would, extracts the content, and runs each metric against the extracted text and HTML.

This means your score reflects exactly what AI crawlers see, not what human visitors see in a browser. If your content is JavaScript-rendered and invisible to crawlers, your score will reflect that reality.
