ft.com — Global SEODiff Score 49/100

ft.com
📊

The AI-Readiness score for ft.com is 42/100 — a middling result that leaves significant room to climb the Radar rankings. Its server-rendered architecture ensures AI crawlers receive complete HTML on first request, a key advantage for extractability. With a 4.3× bloat ratio, the page delivers its content without excessive boilerplate, giving AI systems a clean extraction path. The complete absence of JSON-LD schema is a missed opportunity: even basic Organization markup would improve how AI crawlers understand this domain. With only minimal AI bot access, the domain is largely invisible to the ecosystem of AI-driven discovery tools.

Fastest improvements

  • Allow ClaudeBot (many assistants rely on it) — blocking it often correlates with “AI invisibility.”
  • Add basic Organization and WebSite JSON-LD to fix “0 schema blocks” (see Schema Coverage).
  • Reduce token bloat (navigation/footer/code) so agents reach your main content faster (see Token Bloat).
  • Create an llms.txt file so AI crawlers can discover your content structure without heavy crawling. Generate llms.txt →
  • Run a full entropy audit to find which DOM regions waste the most tokens. Run Entropy Audit →

💡Organization schema missing. AI models cannot identify your brand entity. Without it, your brand won't appear in Knowledge Panels or be associated with your content.
💡Product / Service schema missing. AI models don't know this is a SaaS product. Add Product or SoftwareApplication schema so AI understands what you offer and can surface pricing/features.
💡BreadcrumbList schema missing. AI cannot understand your site hierarchy or how pages relate to each other.
💡FAQ schema missing. Adding FAQPage schema lets AI models directly extract Q&A pairs for Featured Snippets and chatbot answers.
💡WebSite schema missing. Add WebSite + SearchAction so Google can generate a Sitelinks Search Box for your brand in AI results.
