Bot View: what do AI bots see on your page? Bot View

Most AI bots do not run JavaScript. Whatever is loaded later in the browser does not exist for them. Bot View shows you the difference at a glance.

1What is it?

Bot View puts two versions of your page side by side: on the left the HTML your server delivers without JavaScript (raw HTML), on the right the page as you see it in the browser (rendered DOM). Missing sections are marked red.

2Why it matters

AI answers in ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity are built only on text the bots could actually read. If your menu, price list or FAQ only arrives via JavaScript, it is not cited, no matter how good it is.

4How to fix it

• Test yourself: open the source (Ctrl+U) and search for a sentence from the missing section, or fetch with curl as a bot.
• Output content server-side: the server writes the data straight into the HTML instead of loading it via JavaScript.
• Frameworks: enable Server-Side Rendering (SSR) or Static Site Generation (SSG), for example Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit. Existing single-page apps: prerendering for the most important pages.
• Bot protection: let verified bots through, Googlebot via reverse DNS, OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity via their official IP lists.

# What arrives without JavaScript? (user agent like an AI bot)
curl -s -A "GPTBot" https://www.example.com/page/ | grep -c "Tagliatelle"

<!-- before: empty container, JavaScript fills it -->
<div id="menu"></div>

<!-- after: PHP outputs the text directly -->
<ul id="menu">
<?php foreach ($dishes as $d): ?>
  <li><?= htmlspecialchars($d['name']) ?> <?= $d['price'] ?> €</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
