AI crawler
An automated reader that visits your site. Many do not run JavaScript, so they only see the page source.
An AI crawler is an automated reader, such as those behind well-known AI assistants, that visits your site to take in its content.
Many of these readers do not run JavaScript. That means they only see what is present in the page source, not content that appears only after scripts run in a browser.
If important information about your company is only visible once scripts have run, an AI crawler may never see it, which directly affects how AI describes you.
