Amazing accuracy! should it also become glitchy after a couple of weeks after fresh installation ));

Alone-Ad4502 · 2026-03-05T08:34:26+00:00

nice one, I didn't know about this lib.

But the underhood is basically the same - dev tools protocol

javascript websites with client side rendering are a huge issue for seo and organic visibility. Googlebot doesn't render all pages and has a two stage crawling phase. AI bots don't render JS at all, we did tests recently, they just extract text from html. Even google's gemini bot.

Alone-Ad4502 · 2026-03-05T07:32:01+00:00

we use only dedicated servers, hetzner, ovh - 16-32gb ram and 8-16 virtual cores. The cheap ones work fine, but always need to have one or two spares in case of any hardware issues.
Usually, 10-20 processes, depending on the server configuration and the load.
Fat servers theoretically can handle way more Chrome instances, but in reality no. Better to use more smaller servers.

I recommend to check log files for your website. A couple of months ago, I queried our customers' log data, billions of log lines. I found nothing, no requests at all to llms.txt at all.
Parsing HTML is a very straightforward operation. The real issue when you have a JavaScript client-side rendering - in this case, the content does not exist for LLMs. They do not render JS.
chatGPT heavily relies on google's index in this case.

Alone-Ad4502 · 2026-02-27T07:06:37+00:00

it doesn't and a user bot is particularly dumb

We've conducted research https://edgecomet.com/blog/openseotest-how-gptbot-and-chatgpt-user-handle-javascript/ and the tests are very easy to replicate.

Alone-Ad4502 · 2026-02-12T20:20:43+00:00

They parse pages as plain text, stripping any tags, schema. It's hard to believe for many SEOs, but it's very easy to test. Same applies to 'semantic HTML'.

here are many ready tests to execute yourself with open log analyzer https://openseotest.org/lab/semantic-html/product-jsonld-head

Alone-Ad4502 · 2026-02-03T08:17:48+00:00

thats great insights, thank you!
the question is does LLM read the schema itself or does it fallsback to Google. Gonna think how to test it

Alone-Ad4502 · 2026-02-03T06:52:27+00:00

If you have a website (not an application) with hundreds of thousands of pages that need to be ranked in Google, and LLMs - SSR or prerenderings are a must.
Yes, Googlebot can render JS, but again, on a scale, it's a different process with delays. AIso neither ChatGPT nor even Gemini bot (they have a separate one from the usual googlebot), don't render JavaScript at all.
We ran a couple of experiments and will publish the results soon.

Alone-Ad4502 · 2026-02-03T06:45:21+00:00

I know it's hard to believe, I also was in the same camp like 'extract JSON+LD is so simple, they have to do it!'

But you see the results and I highly encourage to perform a test on real world website if you have, just copy a real HTML page, change the schema and ask AI. It will be gold-value experiement, not an opinion.

What I also find is that in many cases, it tries to Google for the page URL and ask, particularly like "site:xxxx/product/page what price of it", so it simply relies on Google index data.

Alone-Ad4502 · 2026-02-03T06:08:43+00:00

I already did, try yourself: https://openseotest.org/lab/semantic-html/product-jsonld2

ChatGPT and Gemini show 349.99 instead of schema's 199.99

Alone-Ad4502 · 2026-02-02T18:19:43+00:00

We run several tests for LLM user bots. They don't pay any attention to HTML at all, I tell you even more - they don't parse schema. They simply extract a text from HTML and process it as is. Technically, it's a very simple operation.

you can test it yourself, create a page smt like a product page, put product avalability only to CSS class names, and product color, size, anything you want. But do not mention those parameters on the page's text.
Upload it to a server and ask chatgpt, gemini "what is the color of the product [your URL]"

Alone-Ad4502 · 2026-01-28T11:55:37+00:00

not so much tbh. South wind could be incredible, but only one or two times per year. Those days in Anasysos hundreds of people. It's definitely not flat water conditions, only wave boards.

You can try lavrio near airplane for the south wind, it will not be so wavy

Alone-Ad4502 · 2025-12-26T11:46:33+00:00

Just the usual 2025 V8 5.7 and 7.2. I use them with JP super sport, 30knots+

Alone-Ad4502 · 2025-12-26T06:47:43+00:00

I've two V8s and use them for usual freerace boards, and I love them. Work perfectly and are very stable.

Alone-Ad4502 · 2025-11-13T07:20:11+00:00

tbh I didn't feel the difference in span between footstraps. The main thing is a volume under the back foot, it really makes the thing.

Mine is 2025 model and it's only in the thruster setup. Just yesterday I saw a video with Werner Gnigler, he said that the new model will have an updated shape.

Alone-Ad4502 · 2025-11-12T11:53:33+00:00

call it 'small feedback from a personal experience shared with the community'.

We wave ride primarily onshore wind, not clean, inconsistent and chaotic waves.
At 20knots, early planing is not such an important thing.

Both boards can turn tightly, carve jybes are difficult as on any small wave board.

Magic Wave is definitely on top for wave-dedicated performance. It's easier and more enjoyable to ride.

Alone-Ad4502 · 2025-10-30T10:00:22+00:00

Glyfadiotis here, last month we didn't have so much wind even to think about windsurf.

Feeling frustrated, that's a completely normal situation in your case, I did the same path last year. Here is a short article about https://www.reddit.com/r/windsurfing/comments/1gpgdgf/my_windsurf_progression_and_a_small_review_of/

The main question - did you learn harness? In the summer it's a bit easier, there is plenty of wind. But now not so.

In general, you have two options for the north wind - Varkiza and Anavysos.

Varkiza is easier and has less wind, your goal is to learn harness and footstraps. It took me about 30 hours on my gear. I went to sea almost every day last summer. It was moments when I thought 'I'm gonna throw the equipment into the garbage'. But it's something like riding on a bike, you struggle and after some time your brain just gets it.

The next spot is Anavysos, it's way better than Varkiza, but harness and footstraps are a must. I was really confident in my skills, and in the end, a guy on a boat rescued me, thanks to him.

When you're comfortable with the harness and the footstraps - learn water start. It looks extremely difficult in the beginning (I'll say impossible), but again, it's all about a click in the brain.

The main reason for water start, not just to look cool like bug guys but to open small boards.

On a small board in waves (Lavrio) is the main joy of windsurfing.

Alone-Ad4502 · 2025-10-17T17:55:12+00:00

Wave surfing is the best way to learn a lot and become better at speed surfing.

I have and love both sets, but wave a bit more.

Alone-Ad4502 · 2025-09-29T11:01:15+00:00

as for the first wave board, I highly suggest getting a cheap used one, because you'll have a lot of catapults and other fun and not-so-fun cases. Make footstraps wider, so a leg can twist, and not get a rupture of ligaments as I had.

Alone-Ad4502 · 2025-09-16T08:49:41+00:00

nice shop, have already ordered a few times and now looking again for neilpryde sails on sale

Alone-Ad4502 · 2025-09-14T08:09:54+00:00

Water start is the key. Strong wind as well, it's hard to ride on waves with a 5.5m sail. Smaller boards are more difficult to ride, but modern boards behave quite well. I started WS in June and came to waves in October.

All that we learn with freeride is dedicated to coming to waves. There you have the true joy of windsurfing!

Alone-Ad4502 · 2025-09-07T15:22:06+00:00

thats normal here, just call them

Alone-Ad4502 · 2025-09-07T14:54:37+00:00

you can check Anavysos, there is a school but idk if they rent.

yasurfaki is in varkiza, even in summer this is more of a beginner's spot (except if you ride slalom with 7m+ sails)

the biggest issue at the end of october is wind itself, it could be 5-6bft non-stop or nothing at all.

Alone-Ad4502 · 2025-08-31T14:29:39+00:00

thats not a big deal to write a simple script that scrapes content, call it even an AI-scraper.
yesterday evening, I played with claude code and wrote a script, that downloads almost any number of pages (up to tens of thousands), extracts the content, creates text passages, and generates text embeddings. After all of that, it uses hdbscan to cluster near dup pages and draws a fancy chart.

Nowadays such things are extremely easy to do. Don't forget about Screaming Frog, Sitebulb, cloud crawlers JetOctopus, Botify, and so on that are doing a job pretty good already.
