Community & personal AI readiness statistics

In November 2026, we could only place a site in an industry where our scanner could read the page, so this page covers Community & personal sites we could read and says nothing about how many turned our scanner away.

How Community & personal sites land

Every page we read gets a score out of 100, the number at the top of its report (how scoring works). Each row is a range of scores. Where too few sites score in the lowest ranges, they are joined into one row.

  • 91–100 19%

What Community & personal sites get right and wrong

Passed more often than on the average site: “Claims come with figures, quotes or sources” (70%, against 56% of all sites); “Buttons, links and fields have names” (43%, against 32% of all sites); “Schema facts also appear in the page text” (68%, against 57% of all sites). Least often passed: several checks that no Community & personal site we could read passed.

Every check, Community & personal against all sites

Share of sites that pass each check, over the sites the check applies to. The Gap column is the difference in percentage points between the two shares; a dash means not enough sites yet.
