Can an AI agent read your website?

I built a tool called Agentis Lux to answer this. It shows you exactly what an agent sees when it visits a site.

Before I run my engine on 50 different websites, I am making seven predictions. I am writing them down now so I cannot change them later to fit the data. This is called pre-registration. It keeps my work honest.

I will scan 10 sites from each group: • E-commerce • SaaS • Content and Media • Government • Indie projects

Here are my bets:

  1. The rendering cliff is the main divider. Client-heavy sites will struggle more than server-rendered ones.
  2. Government sites will beat startups in structure.
  3. Structured data will mostly exist in commerce and media.
  4. E-commerce sites will show the widest range of scores.
  5. Some sites will block agents by accident.
  6. Scores will vary wildly across the web.
  7. Many sites will have good specs but hide them in the wrong places.

I am scanning the public side of these sites. I am looking at marketing pages, docs, and API specs. I am not looking behind login screens. I am scanning the front doors.

If the data shows my bets are wrong, I will report that. If the data is flat and shows no patterns, I will report that too. A baseline is only useful if it is honest.

I will post the results soon. You can see my hits and my misses.

Which prediction do you think will fail first?
