Your $8K speed fix is invisible to AI
Cited pages often score 40 on PageSpeed. Here is what AI crawlers actually measure.
Hey,
You just spent $8,000 on a Core Web Vitals overhaul, and it did absolutely nothing for your AI visibility.
Here is the claim you can test in two minutes. Pages that ChatGPT and Perplexity regularly cite routinely fail Google's PageSpeed test.
Across the hundreds of sites we track, cited pages often score in the 40s. The crawlers feeding large language models do not run JavaScript. They do not render CSS. They do not measure paint times. What matters to them is raw response speed, not the user-centric metrics most SEO tools sell you.
AI crawlers are blind readers with a stopwatch, not picky visitors with a design eye. They do not care what your page looks like. They care how fast the HTML arrives.
The boring fix is a lean server response and clear, answer-shaped markup on every single page. Doing that at scale is the hard part. That is what InkieAI is for.
