brooksrunning.com — Global SEODiff Score 68/100

brooksrunning.com
📊

With a solid 84/100 ACRI, brooksrunning.com is well-positioned for AI search — better than 98% of sites in the Radar. Compared to other infrastructure sites (avg score: 58), brooksrunning.com performs above the benchmark, suggesting strong competitive positioning in AI search. While the majority of content is server-rendered, the 15% ghost ratio suggests some content remains invisible to static crawlers. The 7.7× token bloat ratio falls within the normal range, though there is room to trim navigation, footer, and script overhead. Structured data coverage is solid at 2 blocks, covering core entities — expanding to include FAQ or Breadcrumb schemas could strengthen the profile further. All major AI bot user-agents (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot, Google-Extended) are permitted by robots.txt, ensuring broad AI crawler access.
