Alerts surface automatically in the dashboard — no configuration required. They are computed on each dashboard load and highlight situations that need attention.
Alert types
Invisible content
Severity: critical
A page is receiving crawler traffic but has a crawlability score below 30. Bots are visiting content they effectively cannot read.
This alert fires when a path has more than 10 crawler visits in the selected period and a crawlability score under 30. It surfaces the gap between where bots go and what they can actually extract.
Visit drop
Severity: critical
No crawler visits received for more than 72 hours on a site that was previously receiving traffic.
This typically indicates a deployment removed or bypassed the CrawlReady middleware. The alert compares the current silence against the last recorded visit timestamp.
No data
Severity: critical
No crawler visits recorded more than 72 hours after the site was added to CrawlReady.
This means the middleware or script tag is not sending beacons to the ingest API. The integration may not be deployed, or the site key may be misconfigured.
Traffic spike
Severity: warning
A page received more than 2x its average daily visit rate in the last 24 hours.
The average is calculated over the prior 30 days. Only pages with an established baseline are evaluated. A spike from an AI training bot is generally benign; a spike from an unknown bot may indicate unexpected scraping activity.
New bot
Severity: info
A crawler not seen in the prior 30 days appeared in the last 7 days.
This surfaces new AI crawlers discovering your site. Check the Crawlers tab to see the bot's category and verification status.
API access
Alerts are also available via the API. See the Alerts endpoint in the API Reference for request parameters and response schema.
