Expected Behavior
Developer helpers are tools that monitor, test, or analyze websites on behalf of developers and site operators. They perform tasks like uptime monitoring, performance testing, and accessibility checks. Traffic patterns vary widely. Some tools make regular scheduled checks (such as uptime monitors pinging every few minutes), while others perform one-time scans triggered by a human. These helpers typically access specific pages or endpoints rather than crawling entire sites, though comprehensive audit tools may scan multiple pages.
