But none of that matters if crawlers can’t access your pages first. Prerender.io’s new AI Insights feature addresses this at the source. </p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI Insights works at the crawl layer, so you can catch problems before they escalate and impact your business. Read on to learn more.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="426" src="https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/with-without-prerender-ai-answers-1024x426.png" alt="with and without prerender.io - ai search results " class="wp-image-13036" srcset="https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/with-without-prerender-ai-answers-1024x426.png 1024w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/with-without-prerender-ai-answers-300x125.png 300w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/with-without-prerender-ai-answers-768x320.png 768w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/with-without-prerender-ai-answers-1536x640.png 1536w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/with-without-prerender-ai-answers.png 1988w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Problem</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">If AI crawlers can’t reach your pages, none of your content or SEO efforts have an impact. It doesn’t matter how strong your content is, how well it’s written, or how relevant it is to the question being asked. <strong>If a page is unreachable to AI crawlers, it’s invisible to customers in AI search.</strong></p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sometimes, this isn’t actually a content problem. It’s an infrastructure one. And infrastructure problems are harder to pin down. That’s because a page can look perfectly fine to you and Google, yet be completely invisible to AI crawlers like GPTBot or Claudebot.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s also becoming increasingly difficult to monitor this, largely because infrastructure issues are tough to catch early. And as a result, most infrastructure issues turn into <em>real</em> problems down the line, like lost citations or lack of brand mentions in AI search results. <strong>In the end, most SEO and growth leaders only catch it when traffic, signups, or sales dip and there isn’t a clear reason why.</strong></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why This Happens</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The AI crawler landscape is changing frequently, and most sites weren’t built with these crawlers in mind. <a href="https://prerender.io/blog/robots-txt-and-seo/">Robots.txt</a> (the file that tells crawlers which parts of your site they’re allowed to access) was written years ago with Googlebot in mind. It’s rarely revisited as <a href="https://prerender.io/blog/how-to-optimize-your-website-for-ai-crawlers/">new AI crawlers</a> like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot continue to show up.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Infrastructure default settings compound the problem. A WAF (Web Application Firewall, the layer that filters incoming traffic for security threats) will sometimes block unfamiliar user agents by default, treating a new AI crawler the same way it’d treat a suspicious bot. <a href="https://prerender.io/blog/cdn-vs-prerender-enterprise-seo/">CDN</a> configurations can do the same thing. Some now block major AI crawlers out of the box, even before a request ever reaches your server or your robots.txt. None of these blocks are intentional on your part. They’re just what happens when infrastructure built for yesterday’s crawlers meets today’s, and platform defaults you never explicitly chose.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s also worth knowing that AI crawlers aren’t one-size-fits-all. The same provider can run separate crawlers for training, real-time retrieval, and search indexing, and blocking the wrong one can do more harm than good. <strong>This removes you from AI answers entirely, rather than simply opting out of having your content used for training.</strong></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Fix AI Visibility Issues at the Source</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">That’s the gap AI Insights is built to close.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">It works at the crawl layer, checking whether AI crawlers like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and Google Extended can actually reach your pages before an access problem turns into something bigger. AI Insights catches the cause at the source and tells you what’s blocking access and how you can fix it.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Here’s what you get:</strong></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>A daily health status showing if major AI crawlers can access your site</li> <li>Warnings when certain crawlers can’t access a page</li> <li>A prioritized, page-level breakdown of the pages that are hardest hit, so you know what to tackle first</li> <li>Clear, step-by-step instructions on where access is blocked</li> <li>How you can fix these problems</li> <li>An exportable report you can share with your development team to fix it</li> <li>Bi-weekly email status updates to prevent issues early</li> </ul> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI Insights is already included on current Prerender.io plans, with no extra setup or cost. Here’s a <a href="https://youtu.be/Gzq838gSg1s">short video demo</a> walking you through how it works.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe title="AI Insights: Track, Monitor, and Fix Your AI Crawler Visibility Issues" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Gzq838gSg1s?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">5 Benefits of Prerender.io’s AI Insights Feature</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The practical outcome is time saved and problems caught earlier. Instead of noticing a traffic drop weeks after the fact and reverse-engineering what changed, you solve the problem at the source. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. You stop firefighting and start preventing. </h3> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most teams only find out about a crawler access issue after it’s already cost them visibility, such as a dip in signups that no one can explain. AI Insights turns that into a daily check, so problems get caught while they’re still small and easy to fix.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="389" src="https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/pages-to-review-1024x389.png" alt="Pages to Review, a section of Prerender.io's new AI Insights feature in the Prerender.io dashboard." class="wp-image-13033" srcset="https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/pages-to-review-1024x389.png 1024w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/pages-to-review-300x114.png 300w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/pages-to-review-768x292.png 768w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/pages-to-review-1536x583.png 1536w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/pages-to-review.png 1670w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Instead of guessing, you know exactly where to focus your efforts.</h3> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not every page carries the same weight. AI Insights prioritizes pages that crawlers actually want most, such as high-traffic blogs or revenue-driving product pages. That way, your team spends its time on the fixes that move the needle, rather than auditing your whole site page by page.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. You get a paper trail your dev team can act on. </h3> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">When something is blocking access, you’re not stuck describing a vague symptom. You can export the exact diagnosis report and hand it straight to engineering, which cuts down the back-and-forth that usually stalls infrastructure fixes.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="808" height="324" src="https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/diagnostics-ai-crawlers-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-12765" srcset="https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/diagnostics-ai-crawlers-1.jpg 808w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/diagnostics-ai-crawlers-1-300x120.jpg 300w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/diagnostics-ai-crawlers-1-768x308.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 808px) 100vw, 808px" /></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. It scales with the complexity of your setup. </h3> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI Insights holds whether you’re managing a single site or a portfolio of twenty. The more properties, CDNs, and firewall rules you’re running, the more places something can break without you knowing it. The more valuable it is to catch that break before it costs you visibility, rather than after.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. You protect a channel that’s only going to matter more. </h3> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">As more of your traffic and signups originate from AI answers instead of <a href="https://prerender.io/blog/traditional-search-vs-ai-powered-search-explained/">traditional search results</a>, crawler access starts being a revenue-protection concern. Catching these issues early means the investment you’re already making in content and SEO doesn’t go to waste on a technicality.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="479" src="https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/ai-crawler-activity-1024x479.png" alt="AI crawler activity chart in Prerender.io's new AI Insights feature " class="wp-image-13032" srcset="https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/ai-crawler-activity-1024x479.png 1024w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/ai-crawler-activity-300x140.png 300w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/ai-crawler-activity-768x360.png 768w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/ai-crawler-activity-1536x719.png 1536w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/ai-crawler-activity.png 1666w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Get Started with AI Insights</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Already a Prerender.io user?

Their clients range from heritage British retailers to global names like Bacardi and Segway. </p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">This partnership brings together CDA’s ecommerce expertise and Prerender.io’s technical SEO infrastructure to solve a common problem in web development and an overlapping vertical for both parties.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where This Started</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many of CDA’s clients run sophisticated, JavaScript-heavy storefronts. As such, a growing number of crawlers can’t efficiently crawl and execute the pages. The result can be a product catalogue that’s technically live, but lacking visibility across all search platforms. This leads to declining traffic, low indexation, and products that are hidden in AI search. </p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is a common situation for agencies managing complex builds, and one that typically gets raised after a migration, a rebuild, or when testing picks up that a site isn’t performing the way it should. Prerender.io addresses this directly. By serving pre-rendered HTML in place of raw JavaScript, it gives search engines a complete, readable version of every page without changing anything for users.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">And as AI search grows, the problem compounds. AI crawlers struggle to execute JavaScript even more than Google, meaning ecommerce businesses risk their most important content being invisible where it matters most. And with agentic commerce around the corner, a solution like Prerender.io <a href="https://prerender.io/resources/case-studies/popken-fashion-group/">bulletproofs ecommerce businesses</a> for the future.</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“Prerender.io fills a gap that too many ecommerce businesses don’t even know they have, and it does it without making our builds more complicated. That matters a lot.” <br>– Shannon Greenall, Director at CDA Group</em></p> </blockquote> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Benefits of the Partnership</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">For CDA Group, this partnership means better visibility across their dozens of clients. This means:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Full product catalogue visibility for search engines and AI crawlers</li> <li>Faster indexation of new and updated pages</li> <li>Improved Core Web Vitals and PageSpeed scores </li> <li>A seamless plug-and-play integration with existing CDA-managed platforms and systems</li> </ul> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is where CDA Group and Prerender.io are well aligned: CDA builds the platforms, and Prerender makes sure they’re seen.</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“CDA Group is exactly the kind of agency we love working with.

Together, the two brands are helping teams close the gap between dynamic website experiences and search performance.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Modern websites rely heavily on JavaScript, but that complexity can make accurate indexing and crawlability a challenge. Prerender.io solves this by pre-rendering JavaScript content so it’s fully accessible to every search engine, generative AI search platform, and social channel. Oncrawl complements this by delivering detailed, actionable insights into how that content is crawled, indexed, and performing.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Unified Approach to Technical SEO</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">This partnership unites both brands to support different types of audiences: </p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>Developers</strong> can build fast, interactive web applications without worrying about search engine compatibility.<br></li> <li><strong>SEO teams</strong> gain visibility into how rendered content is indexed and can measure the impact of their rendering strategies.<br></li> <li><strong>Marketers</strong> benefit from more reliable SEO data and performance tracking, allowing them to connect technical improvements to measurable outcomes.</li> </ul> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">By combining Prerender.io’s rendering infrastructure with Oncrawl’s <a href="https://prerender.io/blog/understanding-web-crawlers-traditional-ai/">deep data analysis</a>, customers can make more informed technical decisions: optimizing crawl budgets, improving indexation rates, and driving stronger organic growth.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Our shared goal is to make sure every website can perform at its best, both for users and crawlers,” said Marcos Withington, Head of Partnerships at Prerender.io. “Partnering with Oncrawl gives teams the insights they need to validate and improve rendering strategies with confidence.”</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/oncrawl-quote-prerender-1024x576.png" alt="" class="wp-image-6562" srcset="https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/oncrawl-quote-prerender-1024x576.png 1024w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/oncrawl-quote-prerender-300x169.png 300w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/oncrawl-quote-prerender-768x432.png 768w, https://prerender.io/wp-content/uploads/oncrawl-quote-prerender.png 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">This collaboration underscores a shared commitment to helping businesses build technically sound, high-performing websites that scale in organic search.

They had <strong>lost 67% of their traffic and ~73% of their page one rankings after a poorly executed redesign.</strong></p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Although they continued to publish hundreds of content pieces—all of which were entirely visible to users—the JavaScript-heavy website was nearly hidden from search engines.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">For an immediate fix for a critical problem, DOM implemented Prerender.io to help with recovery. Together, the two produced some powerful results:</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 621% increase in page 1 Google rankings</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 125% increase in search traffic sessions</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 116% increase in click-throughs to podcast platforms (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and TuneIn)</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 1.6 million additional impressions in Google search results</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Supporting Partnerships for a New Era of AI Search</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Partnerships between agencies and technical solutions like Prerender are crucial for solving complex technical SEO issues like the one above. And issues like these may only exacerbate as AI overtakes the SEO scene. </p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">But by integrating Prerender.io’s technology with DOM’s technical SEO expertise, clients can now ensure their entire content catalog is fully accessible to search engines and generative AI engines, too.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>“We saw transformative results almost immediately after implementing Prerender.io for our podcast client,”</strong> says DOM. “What had been a devastating 73% loss in rankings quickly reversed course, with search engines now able to properly crawl and index thousands of episodes that were previously invisible.”</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">This partnership highlights long-term benefits that extend well beyond search—for the podcast client and beyond:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>Consistent content discovery across all search platforms</strong></li> <li><strong>Stable performance even for highly dynamic, JavaScript-heavy pages</strong></li> <li><strong>Improved social sharing and link preview experiences</strong></li> <li><strong>Enhanced visibility in AI-powered search tools</strong></li> <li><strong>Reduced technical debt and development resources</strong></li> </ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enhanced Opportunities for Both Clients and Agencies</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, the two businesses can give clients the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly competitive industry. Additionally, this partnership signifies a path forward for other agencies looking to optimize their solutions.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">As search continues to evolve with AI-driven discovery, this partnership offers clients a competitive edge and reminds other agencies about the scalable technical possibilities.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">About Direct Online Marketing (DOM)</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.directom.com/">Direct Online Marketing</a> is a digital marketing agency specializing in solving complex search visibility challenges.
