What is Nicecrawler?

About

Nicecrawler is an archiver operated by NiceCrawler. If you think this is incorrect or can provide additional detail about its purpose, please contact us. You can see how often Nicecrawler visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors Agent Analytics.

Expected Behavior

Archivers visit websites on a roughly regular cadence, since snapshots are more useful when they're regularly spaced out. Popular websites will have more frequent visits since they are more likely to be queried in the historical database in the future.
