Bot FAQ for this IP

Why is qwantbot visiting my website?

qwantbot is a web crawler associated with the Qwant search engine. Its visits are typically for the purpose of indexing website content to include it in Qwant's search results. Recent activity from IP address 91.242.162.7 shows requests for various pages and robots.txt files, which is consistent with standard search engine crawling behavior. If qwantbot is accessing your site, it is likely gathering publicly available information for search indexing. To verify the legitimacy of these visits, consider checking the reverse DNS for the IP (which currently resolves to qwantbot-7-162-242-91.qwant.com), reviewing the user agent string, and monitoring the frequency of requests. If you wish to control or limit access, update your robots.txt file, implement rate limiting, or use 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 publicly accessible content so that it can be included in Qwant's search index, making it discoverable to users searching on Qwant. The bot typically identifies itself with user agents such as 'Qwantbot/1.0' or similar, and often requests robots.txt files to determine site crawling permissions. To manage qwantbot's access, website owners can specify rules in the robots.txt file, monitor server logs for unusual activity, and use firewall or web application firewall (WAF) rules to allow or restrict access as appropriate.

Is qwantbot safe?

Based on available data, qwantbot appears to behave like a standard search engine crawler, using identifiable user agents and a reverse DNS that matches the Qwant domain. There is no indication from recent activity that it engages in malicious behavior. However, as with any automated bot, it is important to monitor for excessive or unexpected traffic. To ensure safety, verify the reverse DNS and user agent, set appropriate robots.txt rules, monitor request rates, and consider implementing rate limiting or WAF rules if necessary. If suspicious activity is detected, blocking the IP or user agent is an option.
