🛠 This article identifies changes to your website and infrastructure configuration that may require updating SpeedWorkers settings to maintain the service.
Overview
Following implementation, the SpeedWorkers configuration will successfully serve pages to search engines to crawl and render based on what we have identified works best for your website. Botify needs to be aware of changes made to your website to ensure the SpeedWorkers configuration can continue to serve fully rendered pages successfully.
To prevent any negative impact on your SpeedWorkers service, please make this document available to anyone with access to make changes to your site, including your SEO and Engineering teams.
Configuration Changes to Share
The following common changes may affect your SpeedWorkers settings, though other changes may also be impactful. Please notify us when any of the following changes occur:
Your CDN configuration: Botify must be made aware of any changes to your CDN configuration since SpeedWorkers is integrated with it and the service relies on your CDN to work properly.
The number of site scripts used: Any increase or decrease in the number of scripts needed.
JavaScript resources used: We aim to be as efficient as possible when rendering pages to preserve your infrastructure costs. To do this, we configure which third-party resources are worth rendering and which are not. When you make changes to your website, we need to update this configuration to ensure we maintain this efficiency.
CSS selectors: Live Update and some SpeedWorkers scripts may rely on specific CSS selectors. If these are susceptible to change, we need to update the SpeedWorkers configuration for these scripts to work as expected.
Client/Server-side rendering: Notify us if you change from client-side to server-side rendering or vice versa.
User agents and IP addresses: Any change in the user agents or IP addresses allowed or blocked.
If you are in doubt email your Botify account team when you plan any website or infrastructure changes.
Adding Additional User Agents
Sometimes, you may want to add new user agents to your SpeedWorkers configuration, such as when Botify added support for AI bots.
To add additional user agents to the SpeedWorkers service:
Contact Support through in-app chat or the button below to request adding the new user agent to your account.
When your request is approved, Botify will enable the new user agent.
Add the user agent to your CDN redirection rule, referring to the deployment guide for your CDN.
