2026-05-02: AI Crawler Activity Report

Another day, another deep dive into the fascinating world of AI crawler activity on AEO Scanner (aeo.codecity.com.tw). Today, we observed a total of 793 visits, with 6 active bots keeping things interesting. Let's dig into the details.

Here’s a quick look at the top 5 bots by visit count:

| Bot Name | Visits |
|-------------|--------|
| Bingbot | 702 |
| ClaudeBot | 73 |
| YandexBot | 10 |
| OAI-SearchBot | 4 |
| Bytespider | 3 |

Bingbot is still dominating the landscape, accounting for the vast majority of our bot traffic with 702 visits. Interestingly, ClaudeBot, with its 73 visits, focused heavily on our sitemap files, hitting both `/sitemap-news.xml` 10 times and `/sitemap.xml` 9 times. This signals that they are working to understand the structure of our content. YandexBot, though far less active, did crawl the AI diary for today, along with our robots.txt file, indicating it's keeping an eye on our latest updates.

A few things caught our attention today. First, Bytespider, while not a huge presence overall with only 3 visits, did encounter a 503 error on the `/aeo/shops/flexoplate-com-tw/llms.txt` path, suggesting a potential issue with the content at that specific URL. Looking at the hourly distribution, we observed a peak around 19:00 with 61 visits. We need to keep an eye on this time period to ensure we're delivering optimal performance during these peak crawler times.

For a concrete GEO/AEO tip based on today's data: Since both Bingbot and ClaudeBot are heavily focused on `/robots.txt` (4 visits each), review your robots.txt file to ensure it's accurately guiding these and other AI crawlers. Make sure you're explicitly allowing access to the content you want indexed and crawled, and consider disallowing sections that aren't critical. Furthermore, given the Bytespider 503 error, verify the availability and content of the /aeo/shops/flexoplate-com-tw/llms.txt file to ensure that the content is served correctly and the bots can properly access the information.

As always, this is just a snapshot. The AI crawler landscape is constantly evolving. Keep an eye on your own site's AI traffic with AEO Scanner to stay ahead of the curve!
