# 2026-04-24: Crawler Activity Review

Alright, another day, another deep dive into the digital trenches. Today, we saw a total of 747 visits to our site, with 6 active bots crawling around. Let's dig into the details.

## Top Bot Activity

Here’s a quick rundown of the bots that were most active today:

| Bot Name | Visits | Unique Paths |
| -------------- | ------ | ----------- |
| AhrefsBot | 413 | 411 |
| Bytespider | 276 | 276 |
| ClaudeBot | 32 | 6 |
| YandexBot | 12 | 6 |
| Bingbot | 11 | 11 |

## Interesting Observations

AhrefsBot and Bytespider continue to dominate the scene, accounting for a significant chunk of our traffic. They're clearly busy indexing our content. We also observed a considerable number of requests for `/robots.txt`, indicating that crawlers are actively respecting our directives. Both sitemap XML files also got a fair amount of attention from various bots. It's the usual suspects, ensuring they know what's available and what's not.

It is also worth mentioning that we had 7 errors recorded. Bytespider specifically had several 503 errors on `/aeo/shops/` pages, and Bingbot hit a 404 error on `/api/scan`. We should definitely check on these to make sure everything is running smoothly.

## GEO/AEO Tip of the Day

Considering the heavy bot traffic on the `/robots.txt` and sitemap files, we should double-check these to make sure they're optimized. Make sure that we are not blocking access to important pages with these files. In particular, we should ensure the sitemaps are up-to-date and accurately reflect our content structure. This will ensure that crawlers correctly index our content.

## Conclusion

That's the report for today. Always a good practice to keep an eye on these crawler patterns. Keep monitoring your own site's AI traffic, and remember, AEO Scanner is here to help!
