mst.edu — Global SEODiff Score 50/100

mst.edu
📊

The AI-Readiness profile for mst.edu is strong: an ACRI of 73/100 places it ahead of 76% of domains in the index. In the education sector, mst.edu outperforms the average (57), suggesting strong competitive positioning in AI search. A ghost ratio of 30% indicates a mixed rendering strategy where core content loads server-side but interactive sections rely on JavaScript. The bloated 24.5× token ratio highlights an urgent need to clean up non-content markup, scripts, and navigation clutter. The complete absence of JSON-LD schema is a missed opportunity: even basic Organization markup would improve how AI crawlers understand this domain. All major AI bot user-agents (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot, Google-Extended) are permitted by robots.txt, ensuring broad AI crawler access.

🚨

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 24.5x 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.

💡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.

💡Your HTML is 574.8 KB, but only 23.4 KB is text. 4% useful / 96% bloat. AI crawlers have limited context windows (e.g. 128k tokens). This level of bloat (24.5×) risks context-window truncation by ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Reduce inline scripts, CSS, hydration payloads, and tracking code.

Reduce Token Bloat
Medium Impact ⏱ 1–2 hrs
Only 4% of your HTML is useful content. AI crawlers waste context window tokens on bloat.

<!-- Keep only ONE <nav> in the <header> -->

<!-- Ensure <main> wraps your primary content -->
<main>
  <!-- Your content here — this is what AI sees first -->

Add FAQ Schema
Medium Impact ⏱ 10 min
FAQ schema lets AI models directly extract Q&A pairs. This is the easiest way to get featured in AI responses.
