Federal websites that need JavaScript to show their content

61 of 688 fully scanned U.S. federal websites need JavaScript to show their main content. Every site listed, from ScanGov homepage scans.

  • Sites: 866
  • Last scan: 11/8/2026

Of the 688 fully scanned U.S. federal sites we tested, 61 (9%) need JavaScript to show their main content. Pages built this way load slowly. The browser has to run the script before it can show anything. The companies behind the biggest AI agents also say they do not index content rendered this way. So these pages stay out of the AI knowledge base. This page uses the Content available in document check. It passes when the page's main content loads without requiring JavaScript. We ran it only on sites that looked like they use JavaScript to show content. A site with no result counts as passing.

About this check

Content available in document is one of the botability checks. The page's main content loads without requiring JavaScript.

Why it matters

Client-side rendering is a slow way to deliver a page. The browser has to download and run the script before it can show any content, so the page loads poorly. It also keeps you out of AI answers. The companies behind the biggest AI agents say they do not index content rendered on the client. A page built this way is not part of their knowledge base.

Risk

Bots cannot read your content.

Guidance

About this data

ScanGov scans the homepage of each county site on our county list. Scores come from the checks in the ScanGov standards. Sites were scanned between 9/30/2026 and 11/8/2026. Each site's report shows its own scan date. A site counts as fully scanned when its homepage loaded and sent us its page content. Averages, grade shares, failure rates, and ranks use fully scanned sites only. We could not fully scan 178 sites. They did not respond, blocked the scanner, or sent no page content. They appear in the table without grades, with their scan status, and are left out of every figure. Grades follow the ScanGov grade scale. Rank follows the ScanGov ranking method. The full dataset, with every county's raw results, is in the ScanGov data repository.
