Projected from the audit record. After fixing, re-run the task or re-measure to confirm.
AI agents struggled to navigate rbcroyalbank.com natively, achieving only a 40% task success rate and a dismal 3% link-following score. The primary blocker is the homepage's architecture, which serves zero HTML anchor links in its raw source code, a classic symptom of a client-side rendered application. Because most agents cannot execute JavaScript to render the navigation, they were forced to use external search engines to find pages for support, locations, signups, and policies. While the site successfully provides a sitemap and does not block bots, the lack of an `/llms.txt` file and server-rendered navigation leaves agents guessing about site structure. Consequently, critical queries about fees, policies, and the latest news yielded incomplete or failed responses.
What works
- Standard infrastructure files like sitemap.xml and robots.txt are present and accessible.
- The site does not actively block AI bots at the network level, maintaining 100% reliability.
- Agents successfully resolved eligibility queries natively using the site's own URLs.
