AI bots (indexing, training, citation etc) are the new power users of the internet. Millions of bots are deployed every day and they scan all aspects of your website. Many organizations are blind to AI bot traffic due to gaps in traditional analytics. With this Akamai integration, Profound fills that gap at the network level, making it easier to understand and manage bot engagement. In addition to Akamai, CDN integrations are available for Vercel, Cloudflare, Fastly, and Netlify.

Why use Agent Analytics with Akamai?

• Server-side visibility: Instead of relying on JavaScript or cookie-based analytics (which often miss automated traffic), Profound processes server-side request logs directly at the CDN layer. This ensures full coverage of AI requests, regardless of client-side settings.

• Enterprise scalability: Built for large, high-traffic sites using Akamai’s infrastructure. The integration extends Profound’s mission to provide secure, stack-agnostic, and non-intrusive analytics that fit into existing enterprise systems.

• More accurate agent insights: Capture previously hidden interactions from AI models and crawlers, giving teams a clearer picture of how automated systems are engaging with your webpages and content.
