AI agents cannot navigate the site because the homepage is a client-rendered shell with zero HTML links, forcing them to rely entirely on external search results.

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

Agents attempting to interact with ocado.com encountered a severe structural blocker: the homepage raw HTML contains zero links, typical of a Single Page Application (SPA). Because most AI agents do not execute JavaScript, they could not discover any internal pages or navigate the site. Consequently, agents failed to complete any task using only the site's resources and had to rely heavily on external search engines to find information about pricing, shipping, and policies. Furthermore, the absence of standard agent-facing files like /llms.txt and /sitemap.xml left agents with no alternative navigation methods. As a result, 9 out of 10 tasks failed to cite the site's own URLs, meaning users are receiving third-party information about the business.
