# What is crawled

Yoast sitemaps /page-sitemap.xml and /post-sitemap.xml (148 posts) + RSS /feed/.
Campus pages: /core/ (The Core, Las Vegas), /citadel/ (The Citadel, Tahoe Reno), /keep/ (The Keep, Atlanta), /pyramid/ (The Pyramid, Grand Rapids); /rock/ (Austin) is matched if it appears. Market pages /las-vegas/, /tahoe-reno/, /atlanta/, /grand-rapids/, /austin/ → index.
Press releases are root-level WordPress posts (/<slug>/), so they are classified as newsroom at priority 40 from the post sitemap and the RSS; marketing pages (/ebc/, /brochure/, /l/, /videos/, careers/partnerportal/sustainable-data-centers two-level paths, …) are excluded explicitly and the GenericConnector relevance filter drops anything not about data centers.
robots.txt has no disallows.

Open site, L1 works (0 credits). maxLevel: 4, maxCreditsPerRun: 30.

The campus pages render their body client-side (the <article> is empty in the HTML), so only two server-rendered sources exist and are used:

<title> / og:title "Switch – The Core Campus, Las Vegas, Nevada" → name "Switch The Core Campus", city Las Vegas, regionName NV, countryIso2 US. When the title is a slogan instead (Pyramid: "GRAND RAPIDS: Largest, Most Advanced Campus in the Eastern U.S."), the campus/city/state come from the table of the four PRIME campuses published on Switch's own market pages (fallback:switch-campus-table in provenance).
meta description "Switch's Tier 5 Platinum rated multi-tenant/colocation data center with up to 2.4 million sqft and 315 MW." → tier "Tier 5 Platinum", plannedPowerMw 315 ("up to" = design/full-build figure), buildingSqm 222,967 m² (2.4 M sq ft), renewableClaim ("The entire campus is powered by 100% green energy." on Pyramid), description.
No address or coordinates on the pages → geo null. Certainty 0.7 (meta-only).
Key switch:<slug>; externalIds.switch_slug.

Discovery: 153 URLs → facility_pages=4, newsroom=128, index=6, default 15 (two-level marketing paths, now excluded).
--url Core: Las Vegas, NV, US, Tier 5 Platinum, planned 315 MW, 222,967 m² — matches the live meta description.
--url Pyramid: Grand Rapids, MI, US, planned 320 MW ("up to 320 megawatts"), 167,226 m² (1.8 M sq ft), "powered by 100% green energy".
All 4 campus pages: 4/4 valid, 0 rejected; Citadel and Keep carry only name/location (their descriptions state no figures). Credits: 0.

Body content is JS-rendered; a Scrapfly-rendered fetch (30 credits) could expose per-campus specs — not worth it for four pages that change rarely. Revisit if Switch publishes spec pages server-side.
