A study of the 10,000 top domains finds 95.8% of automated visitors leave no way to identify themselves, and 84% of policied sites score D or F.
Automated services that answer questions, complete purchases, or scrape content for training now account for 57.5% of all web traffic in June 2026, passing the human share for the first time. A graded study of the 10,000 highest-ranked domains finds the rules meant to handle those visitors barely exist.
D3 Research scored each domain on four measures worth 100 points: answer eligibility (35), buyer access (35), content exposure (20), and identity controls (10). The median site scored 56, and 73% had no written rules for AI traffic. Among the 5,577 sites that did publish policies, 84% received a D or F; only 13 earned an A. Of the 100 largest sites, 93% landed in D or F territory.
The bottleneck is the identity score. D3 found that 95.8% of 2,175 known agents provide no extra information that lets a website verify who they are. Without that handle, a site cannot tell a buyer-bot from a training crawler, so it cannot set selective rules, and the rubric downgrades it.
Two sites prove the gap is not inevitable: Nvidia scored 93, Traveloka 90. Amazon scored 27. Agent traffic grew 7,851% year over year, per HUMAN Security data cited by D3. The policy layer is a generation behind the traffic mix.
