        "text": "Performance matters a lot: slow, bloated, or unstable pages are more likely to be dropped or only partially processed by AI crawlers. You don’t need to be perfect, but you do need fast, stable delivery of your core HTML and assets.\n\nThink of speed and stability as table stakes for machine readability.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Core Web Vitals, especially LCP and CLS, on key templates\n- Server responsiveness and ability to handle concurrent bot traffic\n- Use of CDNs, caching, and compressed assets\n- Avoiding heavy client-side scripts that delay content visibility\n\nStart by optimizing performance on your highest-value URLs and templates, then roll out improvements globally. In cities like Denver or Salt Lake City, where visitors may have varied connection quality, these performance gains help both human users and AI crawlers.",
