Bot FAQ for this IP

Why is qwantbot visiting my website?

qwantbot is a web crawler that visits websites to collect publicly available information for the Qwant search engine. The recent activity from IP address 91.242.162.5 shows requests for standard resources such as /robots.txt and specific content pages. This behavior is typical for search engine bots, which use these visits to index website content and update search results. If qwantbot is visiting your website, it is likely attempting to discover and index your site's pages for inclusion in Qwant's search listings.

What does qwantbot do?

qwantbot is designed to automatically browse and index web pages for the Qwant search engine. It identifies itself with user agents such as 'Qwantbot/1.0' and 'Qwantbot-prod/1.0', and uses hostnames like 'qwantbot-5-162-242-91.qwant.com'. The bot typically requests /robots.txt to check for crawling permissions and then accesses other pages as allowed. Website owners can control qwantbot's access by configuring the robots.txt file. To verify qwantbot's identity, check the reverse DNS for the IP address and compare the user agent string with official documentation.

Is qwantbot safe?

Based on the available data, qwantbot appears to be a legitimate search engine crawler. It uses consistent user agent strings and reverse DNS hostnames associated with qwant.com. However, as with any automated traffic, it is important to monitor for unusual activity or excessive requests. To ensure safety: 1) Verify the reverse DNS of the IP resolves to qwant.com, 2) Check the user agent matches official Qwantbot documentation, 3) Use robots.txt to manage crawling permissions, 4) Implement rate limiting or web application firewall (WAF) rules if necessary, and 5) Monitor server logs for abnormal patterns. If unwanted, qwantbot can be disallowed via robots.txt.

This page provides a detailed lookup for the bot with the IP address of 91.242.162.5, based on real-world traffic observed across websites using Track-A-Bot software.
