You bring up something I've been trying to figure out as well. It feels like AI favors pages that give a direct, honest answer and then makes that answer immediately available. Seemingly plain, readable HTML with no friction preforms well. If the intent is obvious at fetch time, it seems to matter more than how “optimized” the page is. It feels less like SEO and more like “can this page be understood immediately.” I feel as if the initial response is basically <div id="root"></div> + a big JS bundle, it feels like you’re betting the crawler will execute it and I’m not convinced they consistently do. Curious if you’ve run into that too? Have you seen AI recommendations skew toward SSR/static pages vs client-rendered apps, even when the content is technically “there” once the JS runs?
