I asked Google AI Mode “does Google ai mode make tens of site requests for a single prompt” and it showed “Looking at 69 sites” before giving a response about query fan-out.

Cloudflare has some large part of the web cached, IA takes too long to respond and couldn’t handle the load. Google/OpenAI and co could cache these pages but apparently don’t do it aggressively enough or at all

I don't think you're correct about Google. Caching webpages is bread-and-butter for search engines, that's how they show snippets.

They might cache it, but what if it changed in the last 30 seconds and now their information is out of date? Better make another request just in case.
