nesn.com — Global SEODiff Score 42/100

nesn.com
📊

nesn.com struggles with AI visibility, recording a critical ACRI of 15/100 — AI crawlers face significant hurdles extracting its content. In the infrastructure sector, nesn.com underperforms relative to the average (57), indicating room for competitive improvement. The low ghost ratio (5%) confirms that what crawlers see matches what users see — a hallmark of strong SSR implementation. A tight 3.5× token bloat ratio reflects disciplined markup: minimal noise between the crawler and the content it needs. The site includes 2 schema blocks, providing adequate structured data for basic entity recognition. All major AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot, Google-Extended) are restricted by robots.txt — the site has limited accessibility to AI search.

  • Allow GPTBot in robots.txt so AI crawlers can access your pages (see Crawl Access).
  • Allow ClaudeBot (many assistants rely on it) — blocking it often correlates with “AI invisibility.”
  • Create an llms.txt file so AI crawlers can discover your content structure without heavy crawling. Generate llms.txt →
