Technical Accessibility & Structured Data
How semantic HTML, ARIA, and JSON-LD structured data affect your AI readiness.
What structured data formats does AgentReady check for?
AgentReady checks for JSON-LD schema markup embedded in your HTML. It looks for high-value schema types including FAQPage, Article, Product, Organization, BreadcrumbList, and WebApplication. The more relevant schema types your site implements, the higher your structured data pillar score.
What semantic HTML elements improve my score?
AgentReady checks for correct use of HTML5 landmark elements (<header>, <main>, <nav>, <footer>, <article>, <section>), a logical heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3), and ARIA attributes on interactive elements like buttons, forms, and dialogs.
Does page speed affect my ARS score?
Page speed itself is not a scored dimension in the current ARS model. However, sites that block rendering with heavy JavaScript may prevent the scanner from fully evaluating their semantic structure, which could indirectly affect scores for those pillars.
What is the difference between structured data and semantic HTML?
Semantic HTML tells AI agents about the structure and purpose of your page elements using native HTML5 tags and ARIA roles. Structured data (JSON-LD) provides machine-readable metadata about your content — like product details, article authorship, or FAQ answers — that agents and search engines can extract without parsing your visual layout.
