AI crawlers collect web pages in bulk to build training data for large language models and other AI systems.
They take content without sending visitors back. Most publishers block them in robots.txt or at the WAF unless they have a licensing deal with the operator.
Of the 12 AI crawlers with a stated policy, 12 follow robots.txt and 0 do not. Bots that ignore robots.txt can only be stopped by user agent or IP at your server, CDN or WAF.
Transfon Security identifies every bot in this directory in your traffic reports, flags fake search crawlers, and lets you allow, block or rate limit each bot.
Privacy, security, monetization, and performance insights. A few emails a month, no spam.
