Edge delivery for AI botsEdge delivery serves a parallel, AI-only view of your existing pages to AI crawlers at the CDN — humans and Google/Bing still get the normal site. It’s where Publive AXP Edge is built to win: readable content, a token-light payload, faster responses and AI-only content fixes, all standalone from day one. Most tools here do none of this; a couple offer a limited, bundled or gated version.
Content readability for AI
Partly — the AXP add-on can restructure and simplify pages at the CDN, but bundled and Enterprise-tier only.
Token optimisation at the edge
No stated capability — the AXP add-on restructures and summarises, but token reduction isn’t a tracked metric.
Response time (TTFB) for AI bots
CDN-layer delivery, Enterprise-only; no stated bot-TTFB metric.
AI-only content fixes
In part — the AXP add-on can restructure, summarise and translate the bot-served view, but bundled and Enterprise-only.
Positioning & fit
What it actually does
Measures presence, citations and sentiment across up to 9 LLMs; edge delivery (AXP) is an Enterprise add-on, not the entry point.
