We’re thrilled to announce the arrival of a brand-new member of the Air360 family—Air360-Bot!

What will change for existing users of Air360?

To be honest, on the surface, nothing will change for what you can do with Air360😊 However, for websites that have filters or firewalls, Air360-Bot will make things much smoother and less complicated for you! The previous way Air360 took to create snapshots, session replays and other features to analyze your website might have been blocked causing some feature to be not usable, but with Air360-Bot you won't have that problem with a few steps😉

What does Air360-Bot do?

In simple terms, Air360-Bot is on a mission to make your life easier by ensuring you get the most out of Air360’s powerful features. Here’s what it does behind the scenes:

1. Snapshots: Air360-Bot visits your site to capture snapshots of your pages to compare the performance of your pages before/after updates.
2. Asset Downloads for Session Replays: To create session replays, the Air360-Bot grabs necessary assets like images, scripts, and stylesheets.
3. Website Analysis: Ever wondered how your site performs under the hood? Air360-Bot runs a thorough analysis to understand how your website is structured.

How to enable it?

This will ensure that Air360-Bot can do its job without hitting any roadblocks.

Air350-Bot limitations

Air360-Bot has a soft spot for clean HTML code and might get confused when your HTML does funky things. It loves well-structured websites almost as much as it loves helping you optimize them. Air360-Bot also learns and improves over time to be more resilient to messy code.
