AI agents can access Visa.com but fail to navigate it natively, relying entirely on external search to find basic information.

The one fix worth most right nowGet the fix files →

Put the main links in the raw HTML+1359 → 72 · grade C → B

All of them together: 94 (A)

Projected from the audit record. After fixing, re-run the task or re-measure to confirm.

Agents successfully load the homepage without being blocked, but they immediately stall due to the absence of standard navigational files like /llms.txt and /sitemap.xml. With only 9 links available in the raw HTML of the homepage, agents are forced to rely on external search engines to find specific pages for all 10 tested intents. This heavy reliance on external bridges leads to a low 40% task success rate, with agents failing completely to find accurate information for fees, policies, and locations. The near-zero link following rate (2%) indicates that the site's internal linking structure is largely opaque to automated systems.

WebMCP — what the site declares about itself

Not checked

This audit ran with the WebMCP check switched off. That does not mean there are no tools — it means we did not look. Turn on "Check WebMCP" when re-auditing.

Act-stage check (nothing submitted)

Checks whether an agent could fill in the forms and press the buttons, up to the point of pressing. No form was submitted, nothing added to a cart, nothing paid. Report only; not scored.

The act stage was not checked in this audit.
