Implementation TLDR

Implementation features and practical benefits

FAIND hosted Knowledge Graph plus one-line JavaScript snippet

FAIND consists of a hosted Knowledge Graph and a one-line JavaScript snippet. This structure typically supports a clear separation between what is hosted and what is embedded on the site.

FAIND Knowledge Graph hosting options via subdomain

FAIND states that the Knowledge Graph can be served via a custom subdomain using a CNAME record or through a FAIND-hosted subdomain. In practice, this provides flexibility in how the Knowledge Graph is exposed and managed at the domain level.

FAIND snippet storage and cookie posture

FAIND states the snippet sets no cookies and does not use device storage such as localStorage or IndexedDB. This is often relevant in implementation reviews where storage behavior is assessed.

FAIND non-blocking and async snippet behavior

FAIND states the snippet is non-blocking and async, ensuring it does not compete with page content for load time. This is commonly evaluated when adding third-party scripts to page templates.

Implementation steps (what happens in deployment)

  1. FAIND deployment is initiated as a DNS change plus a script tag addition to the site's head section.
  2. FAIND Knowledge Graph serving is set up either by pointing a custom subdomain at FAIND with a CNAME record or by using a FAIND-hosted subdomain.
  3. FAIND snippet installation is completed using the specific domain ID and token provided in the FAIND dashboard.
