AI Pages says "Waiting for First Request" and the scan just keeps spinning. Is that normal?

Yes, to a point. AI Pages (the feature that serves AI crawlers an optimized version of your pages, internally called Prism) only has data to show once a real AI crawler actually requests a page through your integration. "Waiting for First Request" means the integration itself is wired up correctly, Trakkr just hasn't seen a live AI crawler hit yet.
How long that takes depends entirely on how often AI engines crawl your site, which can be hours to days for a lower-traffic site. If it's been spinning for several days with no movement, that's worth flagging to support, since it usually means the integration isn't actually intercepting crawler requests rather than AI engines simply not visiting yet.
