Executive 3-Bullet Commercial Summary (At a Glance) 1. **What Is Broken Right Now**: **99% of `strapi.io` is raw HTML code noise** (99,688 raw HTML tokens / 389 KB vs. 1,360 tokens of real business copy), **`/llms.txt` is MISSING (404 Not Found)**, and origin server TTFB is **784ms**. 2. **What It Costs `strapi.io` in AI Search**: AI search crawlers (`OAI-SearchBot`, `PerplexityBot`, `ClaudeBot`) enforce strict timeouts (~400ms) and 25,000-token context limits. High DOM bloat and missing `/llms.txt` cause AI engines to hedge on specifics or cite faster competitors instead of linking buyers to `strapi.io`. 3. **How AnswerRail Fixes It in 60 Seconds**: AnswerRail serves **1,360 clean Byte-0 Markdown tokens in 12ms** across 330+ Cloudflare Anycast PoPs, auto-hosts `strapi.io/llms.txt` & `Schema.org` JSON-LD, and tracks **6-Engine Share of Voice & GA4 AI Buyer Clicks** while human visitors and Googlebot see the normal website 100% untouched. ## 2.
