koreatimes.co.kr — Global SEODiff Score 59/100

koreatimes.co.kr
📊

At 54/100, koreatimes.co.kr falls in the moderate bracket of AI-Readiness, suggesting its content is partially accessible to AI systems but not fully optimized. Compared to other government sites (avg score: 57), koreatimes.co.kr is trailing the benchmark, indicating room for competitive improvement. The low ghost ratio (5%) confirms that what crawlers see matches what users see — a hallmark of strong SSR implementation. A 15.4× token bloat ratio means crawlers must process significantly more tokens to reach the actual content — a drag on extraction efficiency. The site includes 2 schema blocks, providing adequate structured data for basic entity recognition. Some AI crawlers are permitted while others are blocked — a mixed robots.txt policy that limits visibility in certain AI ecosystems.

Fastest improvements

  • Allow ClaudeBot (many assistants rely on it) — blocking it often correlates with “AI invisibility.”
  • 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 →

💡Low structure score (16/100). Your content appears as a wall of text with few structured HTML elements. You have 35 list items, 0 table rows, 0 table headers. Convert features into <ul> lists and data into <table> elements to help AI models extract structured information.

💡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.
