Poolside — what a crawler receives from poolside.ai

Website measurement, not a product review. This page records what machine clients received from poolside.ai. It does not evaluate Poolside 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.

100

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.

74

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.

48

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 quote, because the three run in order.

What to fix

5 findings on this site, 2 of them scored serious. 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

www.poolside.ai answers 200 and stays there: 288,551 bytes against 288,551 on the apex. Every page exists at two addresses.

Why it matters

Both www and the bare domain answer 200 with the same pages, so every URL on this site exists at two addresses and a crawler fetches the whole site twice. A canonical tag does not prevent this: it is read after the response arrives, so the second fetch has already been spent. Nothing looks broken from a browser, which is why this survives for years. The fix is a 301 from one host to the other so there is one address per page.

How to fix it

Pick one host (apex or www) and redirect the other to it with a 301 so there is one copy of every page.

Setting: a setting on the server, CDN, DNS or a plugin — no code and no writing

The chain a crawler follows

The chain breaks at llms.txt. 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 288,505 decompressed bytes the homepage delivers, 1.2% is text a reader or a model can actually use. Most of what a crawler downloads here is not words.

  • Readable text 1.2% · 3,479 B
  • Markup & attributes 14.3% · 41,259 B
  • Inline JavaScript 0.8% · 2,368 B
  • Inline SVG 80.8% · 233,135 B
  • HTML comments 2.9% · 8,264 B

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