Warm Bot

Warm Bot is an automatic service that periodically updates the cache of your popular pages. Thanks to this, bots always get instant responses without waiting for rendering.

Why Warm Bot

The Cold Cache Problem

Without Warm Bot, the first bot visiting a page after TTL expires waits for rendering:

Bot → Page request → Cache MISS → Rendering (2-5 sec) → Response

This means:

• Googlebot may not wait and leave
• AI agents get timeouts
• Social networks show empty previews

Solution with Warm Bot

Warm Bot updates cache in advance:

Warm Bot → Page warming → Cache updated

Bot → Page request → Cache HIT → Instant response

Result:

• All bots get instant responses
• No timeouts
• Higher search rankings

How Warm Bot Works

1. Statistics collection — SeoRend analyzes which pages bots request most often
2. List formation — Top-N pages by popularity are selected
3. Warming — Warm Bot periodically renders these pages and updates cache
4. Monitoring — If a page becomes less popular, it’s removed from the list

Configuring Warm Bot

Settings are in the dashboard: Settings → Warm.

Enable/Disable

The Enable Warm Bot toggle activates or deactivates the service.

Note

Warm Bot is available on Pro plans and above. Not available on Free and Starter.

Warming Interval

How often Warm Bot will update page cache:

Plan	Minimum interval
Pro	24 hours
Business	1 hour
Enterprise	Custom

Recommendation

Set the interval slightly less than Cache TTL. For example, if TTL = 24 hours, interval = 23 hours. This way cache is always fresh.

Maximum Pages

How many pages Warm Bot will keep “warm”:

Plan	Warm Max Pages
Pro	100
Business	500
Enterprise	Unlimited

Pages are selected automatically based on actual bot traffic.

Page Source

Where Warm Bot gets the page list:

1. Telemetry (automatic)

By default, Warm Bot analyzes telemetry — which pages bots request most often — and selects top-N pages.

This is the optimal option for most sites.

2. Manual URLs

On Business and above plans, you can add URLs manually. This is useful for:

• New pages that haven’t gained traffic yet
• Important landing pages
• Pages rarely visited by bots but important for business

Manual URLs

In Warm → Manual URLs section you can:

• Add URL — enter the full page URL
• Remove URL — remove a page from the list
• View list — all URLs you’ve added manually

Limits:

Plan	Manual URLs
Pro	0
Business	500
Enterprise	Unlimited

Important

Manual URLs don’t replace automatic selection — they’re added to it. For example, if you have a Business plan (500 Warm Pages) and you’ve added 100 Manual URLs, a total of 500 pages will be warmed: 100 yours + 400 from telemetry.

Monitoring Warm Bot

Dashboard Statistics

In the Overview section you’ll see:

• Warm Requests — number of requests from Warm Bot
• Warm Pages — how many pages are currently in the “warm” list
• Last Warm Run — when warming last ran
• Next Warm Run — when next warming is scheduled

Warming Logs

In Warm → History section, logs of recent warmings are available:

• Execution time
• Number of warmed pages
• Errors (if any)

Warm Bot Billing

Important to understand

Warm requests count toward the total render limit, but are not billed separately.

Example for Pro plan (25,000 renders/month):

• Warm Bot: 100 pages × 30 days = 3,000 warm renders
• Real bots: 22,000 renders (most are cache hits thanks to Warm Bot)
• Total: 25,000 renders (within limit)

If limit is exhausted:

1. Warm Bot pauses until the new period
2. Real bot requests continue to be processed (if cache exists)
3. On cache miss — bot gets response from origin (without prerendering)

Best Practices

1. Start with Automation

Let Warm Bot collect statistics for 1-2 weeks. It will determine the most important pages itself.

2. Add Manual URLs Selectively

Only manually add pages that:

• Are important for business but rarely indexed
• Were just published
• Are needed for AI agents (documentation, FAQ)

3. Optimize Interval

Match Warm Bot interval with Cache TTL:

• TTL 1 hour → interval 50-55 minutes
• TTL 24 hours → interval 23 hours

4. Monitor Logs

Regularly check warming logs. If you see many errors — some pages may be unavailable or take too long to render.
