Bingbot typically visits websites to discover new pages, update existing listings, and gather information for Bing’s search results. If your site is publicly accessible, it is common to receive visits from major search engine crawlers like Bingbot. To verify the legitimacy of these visits, consider checking the reverse DNS of the IP, reviewing the user agent string, and consulting Microsoft’s official documentation on Bingbot IP ranges.
