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 included in every plan — it is what your plan is sized by. Even Free keeps your top 10 pages prerendered (refreshed every 3 days).

Warm renders are on us

Warm Bot renders don’t count against the fair-use render allowance.

Refresh schedule

How often Warm Bot refreshes covered pages:

Plan	Refresh	Fast tier
Free	Every 3 days	—
Starter	Daily	—
Pro	Daily	Top 30 pages every 6 hours
Business	Daily	Top 100 pages every hour
Enterprise	Daily (custom)	Top 500 pages every hour

Change-aware refresh

If your sitemap’s lastmod shows a page hasn’t changed in over two weeks, Warm Bot refreshes it less aggressively (about every 3 days instead of daily) — automatically, and only when the sitemap’s lastmod values look trustworthy. Fast-tier pages are never stretched.

Maximum Pages

How many pages Warm Bot will keep “warm”:

Plan	Warm Max Pages
Free	10
Starter	50
Pro	300
Business	1,000
Enterprise	10,000

Pages are selected automatically: root pages first, then pages ranked by actual bot traffic, then manual URLs, then your sitemap fills the remaining capacity.

Page Source

Where Warm Bot gets the page list:

1. Telemetry (automatic)

Warm Bot analyzes telemetry — which pages bots request most often — and ranks them by traffic and recency. Root pages always come first.

2. Sitemap (automatic)

After you analyze your sitemap, pages from it fill the remaining plan capacity, highest sitemap priority first. This is how sites with little bot traffic still get full coverage.

3. 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

Your domains only

Sitemap analysis and manual URLs work only for domains your account has actually rendered through its API key in the last 30 days. This protects the warm fleet from being pointed at sites you don’t operate.

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
Starter, Pro	0
Business	500
Enterprise	10,000

Important

Manual URLs don’t replace automatic selection — they’re added to it. For example, if you have a Business plan (1,000 Warm Pages) and you’ve added 100 Manual URLs, a total of 1,000 pages will be warmed: 100 yours + 900 from telemetry and your sitemap.

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

Coverage is the product

Your plan is priced by how many pages Warm Bot keeps ready and how fresh they stay — warm renders are never billed or counted. On-demand renders of pages outside the covered set are included within fair use.

Example for Pro plan (300 covered pages):

• Warm Bot keeps 300 pages fresh (top 30 every 6 hours) — that’s the plan
• Real bots mostly hit the warm cache — cache hits are always free
• Bots visiting uncovered pages trigger on-demand renders, included within fair use

If the fair-use allowance for on-demand renders is exhausted:

1. Warm Bot keeps working — your covered pages stay prerendered
2. All cached pages keep being served for free
3. Only new on-demand renders return 429, and your integration falls back to serving the origin page (bots never see an error)

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. Analyze Your Sitemap

Run the sitemap analysis (it happens automatically during onboarding) so Warm Bot can fill your plan’s capacity even before bot traffic builds up, and follow your site as it grows.

4. Monitor Logs

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