Bot FAQ for this IP

Why is yandexbot visiting my website?

Yandexbot is a web crawler operated by Yandex, a major search engine. The visits from IP address 87.250.224.217 are typically for the purpose of indexing website content and updating Yandex’s search results. Recent logs show requests to /robots.txt and specific site pages, which is standard behavior for search engine bots to determine site rules and gather publicly available information. If a website is accessible to the public and not restricted in robots.txt, Yandexbot may visit it periodically. To control or monitor these visits, consider reviewing your robots.txt file, monitoring access logs, and using allow/block lists as needed.

What does yandexbot do?

Yandexbot is designed to automatically browse and index web pages for inclusion in Yandex’s search engine results. It identifies itself with the user agent 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; YandexBot/3.0; +http://yandex.com/bots)' and typically accesses robots.txt files to respect site crawling rules. The bot’s activity helps Yandex keep its search index up to date, making websites discoverable to users of the Yandex search engine. Site owners can verify Yandexbot’s identity by checking the reverse DNS for spider.yandex.com and reviewing user agent strings. Adjusting robots.txt directives and monitoring traffic can help manage its access.

Is yandexbot safe?

Yandexbot is generally considered a legitimate and safe crawler when its identity is verified. The IP address 87.250.224.217 resolves to spider.yandex.com and uses a user agent consistent with Yandex’s documentation. However, as with any automated traffic, it is important to confirm authenticity to avoid spoofed bots. Recommended steps include performing a reverse DNS lookup, checking the user agent string, and monitoring visit frequency. If unwanted or excessive crawling occurs, use robots.txt rules, implement rate limiting, or configure web application firewall (WAF) policies to control access.
