Does it work with my existing site?

Yes. Any client side rendered (CSR) applications are supported.

Can I still use my AI builder (Lovable, Base44, GHL AI Studio, etc.) to ship and iterate on my site?

Yes. You can keep using your AI builder as usual. Encited will not touch your existing codebase and everything will continue to work as before.

Does it affect my site's tracking?

No, no part of your site is modified. Encited only serves pre-rendered HTML to crawlers/AI agents and unmodified version to human visitors. Your site's tracking will continue to work as usual.

Does this work with Lovable, Base44, GHL AI Studio, Rocket.new, Bolt.new, Replit and other AI website builders?

Yes, Encited is platform agnostic and works with website or tech stack you are using.

Does this work for my custom React, Angular website?

Yes. Encited works with website or framework you are using. We have proxy based and API based solutions for you to choose from.

Does this make my site readable by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other AI tools?

Yes. Once set up, any crawler that navigates your site programmatically will receive pre-rendered HTML of your pages. So they will be able to read your content and respond.

Will my website be down during the setup?

No. DNS changes can be done without bringing your site down. You will be working with a clear, step-by-step instructions that will guide you to set up pre-rendering with no downtime.

How does it work, again?

Encited pre-renders your site into plain, crawler-friendly HTML. We sit between your website and your visitors, and serve the pre-rendered HTML to SEO bots/AI agents and unmodified version to human visitors. You can continue using your AI website builder to continue making changes without SEO trade-offs.

Does it affect my email configuration?

No. Only A records (or CNAME for subdomains) are added or updated. Your MX, DKIM, SPF, and all other email-related records are never touched.

I updated my DNS records but it still shows 'needs update'

DNS propagation can take anywhere from 5 minutes to a few hours depending on your current TTL value. Your site stays up during this time. It just isn't connected to Encited yet. You can track propagation status at whatsmydns.com.

My domain is verified but site is not loading

It's most likely a stale DNS cache on your browser, machine or router and your site is actually loading. Try visiting your site in incognito mode or on a different device to verify. More details: https://encited.com/docs/guides/site-not-loading.

Is it safe? How about security?

It has no security downside. Think of Encited as CDN with a pre-rendering feature. It only listens to GET requests made programmatically (by bots), to your pages defined in your sitemap and static assets only. When your site is loaded in a web browser, traffic is routed back to your origin at proxy layer which is handled by Cloudflare. No data from real browser sessions will ever reach our servers.

What kind of support do you offer?

Unlike our competitors, I will not put you through AI Chatbots or support tickets. It will be direct email support from myself. Usually requests are resolved within 1-2 hours of receiving the request or next business day.

I have a question that is not covered here.

No worries, drop a line to team@encited.com and you will get a response within an hour or sooner.

get indexed faster

5× faster indexing. Fewer crawl misses.

Crawlers read HTML in milliseconds — but a JavaScript app forces them to wait, execute, and often give up. Pre-rendered pages skip the wait entirely.

Median time-to-index drops from ~14 days to ~3
Crawler success rate stays near 100%
Less "Crawled - Not indexed" issues
