AgentVitals Research · July 2026 edition

The State of the Agentic Web

We ran the agent across 430 of the top e-commerce & SaaS sites (1605 pages in all) to see how ready they are for the agent majority. Here's how the web actually stacks up — and who's winning.

Plus 21 sites that blocked or refused our agent entirely — see below.

Can agents actually complete the task?

Beyond the score: we point a no-JavaScript agent at each site and measure whether it can finish a real job — find a product, read a price, reach a signup form. Across 1153 attempts on 430 sites, 29% succeeded.

Task	Rate	Sites	Most common blocker
Find a product	41%	232	Navigation relies on JS handlers, not real links agents can follow.
Read a product's price	6%	95	A visible price is on the page but there's no Offer/price in structured data — agents have to guess the price, currency, and availability.
Find the returns / shipping policy	22%	232	Navigation relies on JS handlers, not real links agents can follow.
Find plan pricing	45%	198	Navigation relies on JS handlers, not real links agents can follow.
Find the developer docs	27%	198	Navigation relies on JS handlers, not real links agents can follow.
Reach the signup form	17%	198	Navigation relies on JS handlers, not real links agents can follow.

#	Site	Category	Score	Issues	Top issue
🥇	Frontier frontier.com · 5 pages scanned	Travel / Hospitality	97	12	No schema.org/JSON-LD, so agents must guess what the page is about.

How sites fail agents most often

Share of scanned sites exhibiting each issue.

% of sites	Issue
72%	No schema.org/JSON-LD, so agents must guess what the page is about.
69%	Robots.txt has no specific directives for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot); you're effectively AI-blind.
67%	No semantic landmarks/ARIA roles, so agents struggle to orient.
65%	Missing or duplicate H1 / skipped heading levels make the page hard to outline.
64%	Interactive SVG icons lack titles or aria-labels; they are invisible 'black boxes' to agents.
63%	Links like “click here” / icon-only links give agents no destination context.
61%	No llms.txt / NLWeb endpoint to guide agents to the right actions.
55%	Multiple elements share the same ID; this breaks selector reliability for deterministic agents.

Blocked at the door

21 sites our agent couldn't reach at all — refused, timed out, or failed to resolve. For an agent trying to buy, that's a hard zero.

The State of the Agentic Web lands monthly. Be the first to see where the web stands — and where your site ranks.

Methodology

Every month we run the AgentVitals static Agent Readiness scan across 451 leading e-commerce and SaaS sites, score each 0–100 on how legibly an AI agent can read and operate it, and rank the field. Scores are computed from real scans, never estimated — the same engine that powers the free scanner, pinned to a versioned scoring algorithm so a month-over-month change is always explainable.

We identify our agents honestly and never sit in anyone's request path. Want your site measured against the field? Run a free scan →
