Aggressive AI agents are scraping your site, ignoring your frontend, and driving up your infrastructure costs. AXO is middleware that safely catches them at the edge and feeds them tiny, cheap Markdown instead of heavy HTML.
You are paying to host CSS and JS for machines that don't have eyes.
When OpenAI, Perplexity, or a hundred different travel-aggregation crawlers hit your site, they trigger the exact same database queries, React rendering, and massive HTML payloads as a human.
They download your tracking pixels, your cookie banners, your massive CSS bundles, and your heavy navigation megamenus. They immediately throw away 80% of that data to find the text hidden inside. But AWS still charges you for 100% of the outbound transfer.
AXO intercepts these bots. Instead of letting them hit your origin for 16,000 bytes of HTML, we serve them a raw 3,000-byte Markdown file heavily cached at the edge. Your compute costs drop instantly.
AXO sits between your load balancer and origin. No code changes required.
AXO precisely identifies aggressive AI agent requests by user-agent, headers, and rapid request behaviors. Human visitors pass straight through.
Your heavy visual HTML is instantly converted into lightweight Markdown. We strip out all CSS, JS, and layout structure that machines don't need.
The tiny Markdown payloads are cached aggressively at the edge. The scrapers get the data they want, and your origin server stays completely silent.

}Because crawler traffic shouldn't dictate your server bill.
Like Booking.com. When thousands of shopping bots scrape your inventory every minute, shedding 80% of the HTML payload saves hundreds of thousands in AWS egress fees.
AI platforms are training on your articles. Why pay the bandwidth cost for them to take your data? Serve them cheap, cached text and protect your origin.
Your docs are heavily scraped by developer agents like Cursor and Copilot. AXO cuts the hosting bill while actually improving how those tools understand your API.
