Searchspring — what a crawler receives from searchspring.com

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

Answer engines can technically reach this site, but get little they can use.

AI visibility 67/100, measured 2026-09-18 03:13 UTC from outside its network, as twelve named crawler identities plus an unnamed client and two mobile-browser controls. An engine can technically reach this site and would struggle to get anything quotable out of it.

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.

69

Stage 1 · 40% of the score

Reach

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

At least one answer engine was refused, challenged or served less than a browser.

70

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.

61

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

2 findings on this site. The top one is below in full, free. Which the other 1 is, what we saw, and the bytes behind each one are what a licence buys — or we implement the whole list for you.

What we saw

OAI-SearchBot 429 (a Cloudflare managed challenge), Claude-SearchBot 429 (a Cloudflare managed challenge), PerplexityBot 429 (a Cloudflare managed challenge), Googlebot 429 (a Cloudflare managed challenge), Bingbot 429 (a Cloudflare managed challenge), Applebot 429 (a Cloudflare managed challenge) — while an unnamed client got 200 with 576 words. Not treated as a block: the mobile-browser identity was refused as well (HTTP 429), so this origin is refusing this client, not answer engines in particular. Confirm from your own address with the extension, or in the access logs against the operator's published ranges

Why it matters

The same URL, the same minute: an ordinary client was served the page and a named answer-engine crawler was not. That is the edge rather than a robots.txt decision. One caveat this site's own guides state and this finding must too: the scan sent the crawler's name from an address that operator does not publish, and an edge that verifies identity by IP is right to refuse it. So this proves the edge treats the identity differently - not that it refuses the real crawler. Your own logs, checked against the operator's published ranges, settle which. If the edge is refusing the real crawler, nothing else in this report reaches that engine, however good it is.

How to fix it

Allow the named answer-engine crawlers through the security layer (Cloudflare bot rules, WAF, rate limits), or verify their published IP ranges instead of blocking by name.

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 robots.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 72,181 decompressed bytes the homepage delivers, 5.5% is text a reader or a model can actually use. Most of what a crawler downloads here is not words.

  • Readable text 5.5% · 4,006 B
  • Markup & attributes 46.9% · 33,823 B
  • Structured data (JSON-LD) 2.4% · 1,740 B
  • Inline CSS 21.6% · 15,600 B
  • Inline JavaScript 9.2% · 6,618 B
  • Inline SVG 13.5% · 9,731 B
  • HTML comments 0.9% · 663 B

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

  • Inline SVG · 5,322 B (7.4%) — #Layer_1opens <!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 29.0.1, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Ver
