App Scorecard

See the Impact of Your Third-Party Tools

Dealer websites rely on a wide range of third-party tools, from chat providers to compliance platforms. But understanding how those tools impact website performance can be difficult.

App Scorecard gives dealers a clearer view by providing aggregated performance scores for third-party providers across the entire DealerOn network. Instead of focusing on a single website, the scorecard shows how each vendor performs on average wherever it’s installed on DealerOn sites.

With easy-to-read A–F grading, along with filtering and sorting options, App Scorecard helps dealers compare vendors, understand performance trade-offs, and have more informed conversations with their third-party partners.

App Scorecard can be reached via the Reports section of the DealerOn App Marketplace. Reach out to our Support team for assistance reviewing your App Scorecard.

App Scorecard
App Insights

Deeper Visibility Into Website Performance

Understanding website performance requires more than a single score. App Insights gives dealers a detailed, dealer-specific view of how their website performs across key pages and devices.

The dashboard breaks down performance by page type—including the homepage, SRPs, and VDPs—and by mobile and desktop, helping dealers quickly identify where improvements may be needed.

By combining real-user and lab data in a clear, contextual dashboard, App Insights helps dealers evaluate performance and make more informed optimization decisions.

App Insights can be reached via the Reports section of the DealerOn App Marketplace. Reach out to our Support team for assistance reviewing your App Insights.

LLMs Files

Head over to our blog to explore the role of LLMs.txt files in Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Artificial Intelligence Optimization (AIO).

LLMs.txt Support

We’re excited to announce that DealerOn now supports LLMs.txt file placement on our websites. This means dealers can define guidelines for AI crawlers; helping ensure their content is properly discovered and represented in AI-powered search experiences.

Introducing LLMs.txt Files

Much like robots.txt guides search engines, an LLMs.txt file is designed to guide AI crawlers, specifically the bots that collect data for large language models (LLMs). These files act as a “rulebook” for AI systems, letting dealers specify how site content can be accessed, referenced, or excluded in generative AI platforms.

While adoption is still new and evolving, the LLMs.txt framework is becoming increasingly important as generative search engines rise in prominence. Some AI systems already check for these files, and more will likely follow in the near future.
