Meteor Spiderable Errors

Question

My phantomjs/spiderable package keeps failing on production.

spiderable: phantomjs failed: Error: Command failed:

[2014-09-10T07:44:15.144Z] Application CRASH detected. Exit code 7.

If I go to a usual url on the site I don't see the error but if I tail the logs this happens pretty frequently. Any idea on how to debug and figure this out?

Spiderable is known for being pretty unreliable. I suggest using Prerender instead if you can: http://prerender.io
