Search Engine Crawler
Indexes web content for search engine results

Expected Behavior

Search engine crawlers systematically index websites to power search engines by discovering, analyzing, and cataloging web content. They visit sites on dynamic schedules determined by algorithmic priorities rather than fixed intervals. Crawl frequency depends on factors like site popularity, content freshness, update frequency, and domain authority. These crawlers typically respect robots.txt rules and throttle their requests to avoid overwhelming servers.

Should I Block SeznamBot?

Probably not. Search engine crawlers power search engines, which are a useful way for users to discover your website. In fact, blocking search engine crawlers could severely reduce your traffic.

New agents are created every day. We recommend setting up Dark Visitors Automatic Robots.txt if you want to block all agents of this type.
