Gemini · gemini-2.5-flash · HTTP · Target jbhifi.com.auA measurement at one moment, not a verdict · MethodologyJB Hi-Fi's website is largely invisible to AI agents because its homepage loads as an empty shell without server-rendered links, resulting in a 90% task failure rate.

Projected from the audit record. After fixing, re-run the task or re-measure to confirm.
AI agents struggled significantly to navigate jbhifi.com.au, achieving only a 10% overall task success rate. The primary blocker is the site's architecture: the homepage contains zero HTML links in its raw source code, which is typical of client-side rendered Single Page Applications (SPAs). Because most agents cannot execute JavaScript to render the page, they are immediately stranded upon arrival. Consequently, agents were forced to rely on external search engines to find information for half of the tasks, and failed to cite JB Hi-Fi's own URLs in 7 out of 10 intents. While the site does provide AI-specific text files, the lack of a navigable HTML structure prevents agents from reliably discovering pricing, stock, and policy information on their own.
What works
- The site successfully hosts AI-specific documentation (/llms.txt and /llms-full.txt) which agents can access.
- Standard discovery files like sitemap.xml and robots.txt are present and return HTTP 200.
- The site does not actively block AI bots at the network level.
- Agents were able to successfully complete the signup intent using the site's own URLs.
