railway.app — Global SEODiff Score 64/100

railway.app
📊

railway.app shows strong AI visibility with an ACRI of 77/100, outperforming 86% of indexed domains. Within the developer vertical, this places railway.app above the industry average of 57 —, suggesting strong competitive positioning in AI search. The low ghost ratio (5%) confirms that what crawlers see matches what users see — a hallmark of strong SSR implementation. The bloated 28.9× token ratio highlights an urgent need to clean up non-content markup, scripts, and navigation clutter. Structured data coverage is solid at 3 blocks, covering core entities — expanding to include FAQ or Breadcrumb schemas could strengthen the profile further. Robots.txt grants unrestricted access to the key AI user-agents, which is the strongest starting position for AI visibility.
