Updated: 2026-10-14T12:30:00Z
Use this to: separate browser, search, and AI-agent demand before policy changes.
Country activity
Use geography as a planning signal before changing crawl policy or regional infrastructure.

- Treat answer engines differently from training-only crawlers.
- Protect expensive pages with policy rather than blanket blocks.
