Bot FAQ for this IP

Why is qwantbot visiting my website?

qwantbot is a web crawler associated with the search engine Qwant. It visits websites to index publicly available content, which helps Qwant provide up-to-date search results. Recent activity from IP address 91.242.162.6 shows requests for pages like /antler-prices and /robots.txt, which is typical crawler behavior. The user agent and reverse DNS (qwantbot-6-162-242-91.qwant.com) both indicate Qwantbot. If you want to verify the legitimacy of these visits, check the user agent string, perform a reverse DNS lookup on the IP, and consult Qwant's official documentation. To manage access, consider updating your robots.txt file, monitoring request frequency, and using allow/block lists as needed.

What does qwantbot do?

qwantbot is designed to automatically browse and index web pages for the Qwant search engine. Its primary function is to collect information from publicly accessible parts of websites to improve search coverage and relevance. The bot typically requests standard resources such as /robots.txt to determine site crawling rules and then proceeds to index permitted pages. The user agent strings and reverse DNS records in recent visits suggest that these requests are consistent with standard search engine crawling practices. Website owners can control qwantbot’s access using robots.txt directives, monitor its activity through server logs, and adjust firewall or rate-limiting settings if necessary.

Is qwantbot safe?

Based on available data, qwantbot appears to be a legitimate search engine crawler. The user agent and reverse DNS both reference Qwant, and the request patterns match typical indexing behavior. However, as with any automated traffic, it is important to verify authenticity and monitor for unusual activity. To ensure safety: 1) Confirm the reverse DNS resolves to qwant.com, 2) Check the user agent string for accuracy, 3) Use robots.txt to control access, 4) Monitor request rates to prevent excessive crawling, and 5) Implement firewall or WAF rules if unwanted behavior is detected. If in doubt, consult Qwant’s official bot documentation or support.
