Interactive SEO Galaxy
The homepage features an interactive galaxy map where each star represents a feature or section of CrawlPilot. Users can click on a star to open a detailed view of that feature, drag to rotate the galaxy, and hover to highlight connections between features. This concept uses @react-three/fiber for 3D interactions, creating an engaging and memorable first impression.

The animation begins with a cluttered, unoptimized site, which then undergoes a series of transformations—highlighting SEO improvements—culminating in a streamlined, high-performing site. This looped animation, built with motion/react, emphasizes the product's impact on site performance.
