Pricing: https://agentreadychecklist.com/pricing.md (free). # Edition 2026-11-04: first pass rates Edition 2026-11-04: the first pass rates for the checks the Verify Kit can run, over 7,840 reachable sites in the Tranco top 10,000. 71% let all 17 agent tokens in, 14% publish an llms.txt and 1.3% link it from the home page. 3.4% answer a markdown request with markdown. ## The numbers - 66.5% of 7,500 sites return 404 or 410 for a path that does not exist. The rest return 200 or another code for a page that is not there. - 64.0% of 5,890 home pages carry an h1 and at least 50 words in the initial HTML of a plain fetch. - 14.3% of 7,514 sites serve an llms.txt; 1.3% of 5,890 home pages link to one. - 0.5% link or serve an OpenAPI file, and 0.4% serve a /.well-known/mcp.json. Share of reachable Tranco top 10,000 sites passing each Verify Kit check. Crawl of 2026-11-04, 13,071 rows. The same numbers are in the table on the data page. ## Method in five lines 1. The universe is the Tranco top 10,000 (list ID 746WX); 9,990 of them were in the crawl file when this edition was cut. 2. Each site was fetched once with a plain-fetch client that runs no JavaScript, user agent `Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; agent-readiness-crawl/1.0)`, a 10-second timeout. 3. A site is reachable if its robots.txt request got an HTTP answer: 7,840 sites. 4. Pages the site's own robots.txt closed to the crawler were not fetched, so each rate has its own denominator. 5. Each rate is the share of sites on which the check ran that passed it. Definitions are in the CSV. ## Download and cite [CSV](https://agentreadychecklist.com/data/pass-rates-2026-11-04.csv) and [JSON](https://agentreadychecklist.com/data/pass-rates-2026-11-04.json), licensed [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). ```text Agent Ready Checklist, "Pass rates for the checks the Verify Kit can run", edition 2026-11-04, https://agentreadychecklist.com/data/2026-11-04/ ``` ## Changelog 2026-11-04 First edition.
