‘Machine experience’ refers to the process by which automated systems, such as Google’s web crawlers, interact with and evaluate a website.
Unlike human users who browse for content and usability, machines place much greater focus on analysing a website’s navigation structure, and the relationship between client and server-side loading of html elements.
This evaluation is crucial for algorithms used to determine a website’s relevance and authority when calculating search engine rankings.
This process is integral to search engine optimisation (SEO), as it influences how a website is perceived and ranked by search engines.
