## How DataJelly Handles Website Traffic

This diagram shows the full request lifecycle: how Edge intercepts incoming traffic, identifies the visitor type (human, search bot, AI agent, social crawler), and routes each request to the appropriate rendering pipeline — all at the edge, before your app server is ever hit.

## How Snapshots Deliver Optimized Content to Bots

A detailed look at the snapshot generation and delivery pipeline. Edge renders your JavaScript pages in a headless browser, captures the fully-rendered DOM, and stores optimized HTML and Markdown snapshots that are served instantly to bots on subsequent requests.

## How Redirects Work at the Edge

Edge evaluates redirect rules at the network layer before your SPA even loads. This diagram walks through the redirect matching, chain resolution, and loop-detection logic that ensures bots and users always land on the correct canonical URL.

## How Google Actually Indexes Your Website

Understanding Google's two-phase indexing process — initial crawl vs. render queue — is key to understanding why prerendering matters. This diagram illustrates where JavaScript apps break down in the indexing pipeline and how Edge short-circuits the problem.
