What This Page Does
Crawler Intelligence analyses search engine bot activity on your site. It shows which crawlers visit (Googlebot, Bingbot, etc.), how frequently, which pages they prioritise, and whether your crawl budget is being spent on important pages vs wasted on utility pages.
Powered by: Cost of Retrieval
Getting Started
- View bot activity summary — crawl frequency by bot type
- Check page-level crawl data — which pages bots visit most/least
- Review crawl budget efficiency — percentage of crawls hitting important vs unimportant pages
- Monitor crawl rate trends — increasing or decreasing crawl activity over time
Key Features
- Bot identification — Googlebot, Googlebot-Mobile, Bingbot, and others
- Crawl frequency — requests per day/week with trend charts
- Page priority analysis — are bots spending time on your money pages?
- Wasted crawl budget — identifies utility pages consuming crawl resources
Tips & Best Practices
- Increasing Googlebot crawl rate often precedes ranking improvements
- Block crawling of utility pages (login, admin, cart) via robots.txt
- If crawl rate drops suddenly, check for server errors or robots.txt changes
- Monitor mobile vs desktop Googlebot ratio — mobile-first indexing means mobile should dominate
