Salience launches server-side AI crawler intelligence
Salience analyzes CDN and server logs to show how search engines, AI crawlers, bots, and people access a website. It verifies crawler identities, surfaces errors and blocks, and provides APIs, CLI, and MCP access to request data.
Salience targets a real blind spot in web analytics: JavaScript tools miss much of the machine traffic shaping search and AI visibility.
- –Server-side collection captures requests that analytics scripts never see
- –Verification against published IP ranges helps distinguish genuine crawlers from spoofed user agents
- –Alerts connect crawler failures, status codes, and URL patterns to recommended fixes
- –API, CLI, and MCP integrations make the data useful to developers and AI assistants
- –Its value depends on reliable log integrations and careful interpretation; crawler requests do not prove indexing, training, answers, or citations
