Country activity

Use geography as a planning signal before changing crawl policy or regional infrastructure.

Why This Matters

Good bot operations reduce accidental blocks while keeping costly or unwanted crawling under control.

What To Do

  • Identify verified bots before writing firewall rules.
  • Log user agent, purpose, status code, and cache outcome.
  • Pair robots.txt policy with operational rate limits.
