agentic checks passed 48% readiness - how well this site can be read, trusted and transacted with by AI agents
Last checked
immigration.govt.nz is live and passes 10 of 28 agentic-readiness checks (48%). It runs on silverstripe over HTTPS.
For AI agents, immigration.govt.nz's strongest signals are tidy, crawlable markup, fully indexable pages, a visually stable layout, and a clear canonical URL. 100 list items - substantial extractable content.
Its main gaps are text that is hard for agents to extract, no Schema.org structured data, shallow schema coverage, and no speakable schema for voice agents. The weakest area is Structured data; addressing it first would raise this score the most.
