Datadog — what a crawler receives from datadoghq.com

Website measurement, not a product review. This page records what machine clients received from datadoghq.com. It does not evaluate Datadog software, features, pricing or support.

The three stages, in the order an engine hits a site

Each stage gates the next. An engine that cannot reach a page never reads it; one that cannot read it never quotes it. That is why reach is a ceiling and not just a weight.

86

Stage 1 · 40% of the score

Reach

Can a named answer-engine crawler get your pages at all?

Every named crawler was served the same page a browser gets.

76

Stage 2 · 30% of the score

Read

Once it has the bytes, can it find the words?

The content is buried in markup, or the files that guide a crawler are missing.

76

Stage 3 · 30% of the score

Quote

Is there a specific fact it can state and attribute?

An assistant would have to paraphrase your page instead of quoting a fact.

The stage to fix first is read, because the three run in order.

What to fix

4 findings on this site. Every one is named below; the top one is shown in full, free. What we saw, why each matters, how to fix it and the bytes behind it are what a licence buys — or we implement the whole list for you.

What we saw

4 sitemaps answered 200 with a valid <urlset> and zero <url> entries: https://www.datadoghq.com/th/sitemap.xml, https://www.datadoghq.com/vi/sitemap.xml, https://www.datadoghq.com/zh/sitemap.xml, https://www.datadoghq.com/newsletter/sitemap.xml. Verified by parsing the response body, not by its status code. /th/sitemap.xml

Why it matters

The file parses as a sitemap and contains no URLs. A crawler that follows the declaration fetches it on every visit and learns nothing, and Search Console reports 0 discovered URLs for it. The usual cause is a generator with an empty source — an entity-map, image or news sitemap whose feed returned nothing — or a rewrite rule left behind. Either populate it or stop declaring it.

How to fix it

Populate the empty sitemap or remove it from robots.txt and from the sitemap index. A file that lists nothing should not be declared.

Developer: a template, theme or application change — a developer touches it

Grade effect Does not cap the letter: only medium, high and critical findings do. Moves no points either; the score is built from the measured rows.

The chain a crawler follows

The chain breaks at entity graph. Everything after that point is only reachable by a crawler guessing the conventional path.

✓robots.txtEvery crawler reads this first
✓sitemapNamed in robots.txt and resolves
✓llms.txtPoints onward, links stay on this host
✗entity graphParses as JSON and points home

A machine file that does not parse is worth less than one that is absent, because it looks present. Rows behind this.

Where the bytes go

Of the 271,442 decompressed bytes the homepage delivers, 5% is text a reader or a model can actually use. Most of what a crawler downloads here is not words.

  • Readable text 5% · 13,457 B
  • Markup & attributes 64.9% · 176,232 B
  • Structured data (JSON-LD) 0.9% · 2,395 B
  • Inline CSS 0.5% · 1,418 B
  • Inline JavaScript 9.7% · 26,244 B
  • Inline SVG 19% · 51,522 B
  • HTML comments 0.1% · 174 B

The individual blocks that weigh the most, so the fix is a search rather than a hunt:

  • Inline SVG · 16,627 B (6.1%) — unnamedopens <path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M206.077 0.299176C192
