7news.com.au — Global SEODiff Score 53/100

7news.com.au
📊

7news.com.au scores 58/100 on the AI-Readiness Index, placing it in the middle tier of indexed domains — there is clear room for improvement. In the infrastructure sector, 7news.com.au outperforms the average (57), suggesting strong competitive positioning in AI search. The rendering approach is hybrid, with a moderate ghost ratio of 30% — most content is accessible without JS, though some elements are client-rendered. A 33.6× token bloat ratio means crawlers must process significantly more tokens to reach the actual content — a drag on extraction efficiency. Structured data coverage is solid at 3 blocks, covering core entities — expanding to include FAQ or Breadcrumb schemas could strengthen the profile further. Some AI crawlers are permitted while others are blocked — a mixed robots.txt policy that limits visibility in certain AI ecosystems.

🚨

Hallucination Risk

Research

Is AI lying about your brand? This panel measures how likely LLMs are to hallucinate facts when extracting information from your page.

👻
Shadow Content Detected: 30% of your page token budget is trapped in non-rendered regions (JavaScript-dependent content invisible to AI crawlers). Combined with 33.6x token bloat, AI models are using most of their context window on noise instead of your real content. This dramatically increases hallucination probability — models fill the gap with made-up facts.
