Ready for AI agents

What this website publishes for an AI agent to read, use and buy from, on a scale of six levels.

  1. 0
  2. 1
  3. 2
  4. 3
  5. 4
  6. 5

Level 0: Not yet agent-ready. Agents struggle to find basic information about the site.

To reach level 1:
  • 2 of robots.txt, Sitemap, Link headers

Some checks could not run. With them, up to level 1 would be possible.

The website turns away requests that do not come from a browser. AI agents that say what they are meet the same refusal.

Can an AI agent buy here?

Not by itself. Torrid publishes none of the purchase protocols we look for. An agent would have to click through the checkout like a person.

The checks behind the AI readiness score

2 of 14 passed. This list is for your technical team. The percentage is how many companies in the study pass each check.

These 14 checks ran during the audit and are what the AI readiness part of the overall score counts. The scan above ran later and is stricter on Link headers and Markdown, so a check can pass here and not there.
