ucas.com — Global SEODiff Score 67/100

ucas.com
📊

Registering an exceptional 90/100 on the AI-Crawler Reality Index, ucas.com sits in the highest tier of AI extractability among indexed domains. Within the education vertical, this places ucas.com above the industry average of 57 —, suggesting strong competitive positioning in AI search. Server-side rendering keeps the ghost ratio near zero, giving AI systems direct access to all visible content. A 5.2× bloat ratio is typical for sites in this tech tier — not wasteful, but streamlining could further boost extractability. The presence of 16 structured data blocks ensures search engines and AI agents can accurately classify and extract entities from the page. The site maintains an open-door policy for AI crawlers — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and other major agents are all allowed.

Perf Pillar = TTFB (35 pts) + Page Weight (25 pts) + Cache/CDN (20 pts) + Tracker Tax (20 pts)

TTFB <200 ms = full marks. DOM >3000 or payload >300 KB incurs heavy penalties. Tracker scripts beyond 5 reduce score.
