Press Gazette's partners WP Engine have helped us produce a list of four ways publishers can adapt to the changing world of AI-driven search and content consumption. ➡️1.

As AI crawlers continue to multiply, publishers must focus resources on effective bot management to filter out harmful traffic while allowing legitimate search and AI bots to index content properly. ➡️4.

In a self-hosting model, essential features can become unpredictable budget line items. In our latest white paper, “Reclaiming the Roadmap: How Self-Hosting Steals Developer Time", we break down the costs of self-hosting, and explore strategies to eliminate this hidden cost: https://lnkd.in/gN_7Sqj9
