Most AI bots don’t run JavaScript; they only read raw HTML.
✅ Good stacks: WordPress, Next.js (SSR/SSG), static sites, Webflow
❌ Risky stacks: React/Vue/Angular with CSR only
On CSR? At least make your homepage static.

@dejanseo Fair point. So far we've moved the need the the most with targeted content creation and restructuring recommended actions based on: current ranking by prompt / topic, gaps website compared to competitors and importantly where we see OpenAI and Google bots consistently crawling.
@dejanseo We let you track how your brand/product ranks across the major AI tools, spot content gaps between competitors, track AI Crawlers to see how AI ingests your content, and much more.
We would love for you to try it out and hear your feedback on it!
@Vibhu_Ai AI search is growing fast, but SEO remains king for now. Starting to optimize for AI search today will likely pay out big in the future though!
@AliDahmash Ali, great blog on GEO! We help companies track and analyze how their brand shows up in AI search (ChatGPT, Perplexity), with insights on visibility, competitors, and trends. Would be interesting to hear your feedback on it 👀
@aleyda Very Good checklist, Aleyda. Many of these topics also come out of the GEO audit GPTrends offers! Perhaps you can try out our free trial and see if the actionable insights are interesting for you.
@ViperChill Search traffic may be declining, but the shift is also a chance to get ahead of the curve before AI-answer visibility becomes as competitive as Google rankings are today, starting to look way more like Perplexity / ChatGPT with AI Mode and AI Overview. We built GPTrends for this!
@gaganghotra_ It does feel like llm.txt is more of a nice to have, but making sure your robots.txt is well positioned for AI crawlersis a must: clearly defined, updated, pointing towards essential content
