AI crawlers scan your website around the clock, often without your permission. Beconova identifies them all, even those disguised as regular browsers. (formerly: AI Crawler Detection)
Many AI companies ignore robots.txt and crawl your content undetected. You don't know who is using your data.
Beconova combines three technologies to identify even the most sophisticated crawlers
AI crawlers behave differently than real visitors: rapid sequential requests, systematic page visits and missing JavaScript execution give them away.
Known AI crawlers use specific IP ranges. Beconova matches every access against databases from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others.
Most AI crawlers identify themselves via their user-agent string. Beconova recognizes 51 known bot signatures and continuously updates the list.
A selection of the 24 most recognized - our system detects all 51 bot patterns.
The bot database is continuously updated. New AI crawlers are added after review; unknown or disguised access can remain undetected.
Some AI crawlers disguise themselves as regular browsers. Beconova sees through the disguise.
Bots with fake user-agents are exposed by their browsing behavior: unrealistically fast page loads, missing mouse movements, no cookie handling.
IP addresses are checked via reverse DNS. An alleged Chrome browser coming from an OpenAI IP is immediately identified as a bot.
Systematic crawling follows recognizable patterns: alphabetical URL order, even intervals, complete sitemap processing.
When a stealth crawler is detected, you are immediately notified. You can respond specifically and protect your content.
Transparency about recognized AI access and bot signals on your website
See which AI crawlers are visiting your website and which pages they access.
Track crawler activity over weeks and months. Spot trends and new bot activities.
Each detected bot is categorized: official AI crawler, stealth bot, search engine or unknown.
Which pages are crawled most frequently? Which AI systems are interested in your products?
Check whether AI crawlers respect your robots.txt or ignore your rules.
Export crawler data as CSV or generate automatic reports for your team.
How AI bot identification works
Beconova detects 51 AI crawlers, including GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Bingbot, GrokBot, CCBot, Bytespider and many more. The list is continuously expanded.
Stealth crawlers are AI bots that disguise themselves as regular web browsers. They use fake user-agent strings to avoid detection. Beconova exposes them through behavioral analysis and IP verification.
Beconova detects and documents AI crawlers. Blocking is done through your robots.txt or firewall rules. We provide you with the data to make informed decisions.
The bot database is continuously updated. New AI crawlers are typically added to our detection within days of their first appearance.
No. Crawler detection works server-side and has no impact on your website's loading time. Analysis happens asynchronously after the page visit.
