atu.ie has earned a 87/100 ACRI — a tier-1 result that puts it ahead of 99% of sites in the SEODiff Radar. Within the government vertical, this places atu.ie above the industry average of 57 —, suggesting strong competitive positioning in AI search. Server-side rendering keeps the ghost ratio near zero, giving AI systems direct access to all visible content. The 6.4× token bloat ratio falls within the normal range, though there is room to trim navigation, footer, and script overhead. Minimal structured data (1 block) limits the site's ability to communicate entity relationships to AI systems. Robots.txt grants unrestricted access to the key AI user-agents, which is the strongest starting position for AI visibility.
🧮 Score Transparency — How is this calculated?
📊 ACRI Sub-Scores (AI Readiness Detail)
atu.ie ranks much higher on Google (Tranco Top 18%) than in AI search (Top 1%). This is the 'Visibility Gap' pattern — implementing the recommendations above can help close the AI gap. ACRI measures technical crawler readiness. Read the methodology →
