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 make it searchable through Qwant. The recent activity from IP address 91.242.162.9 shows requests to /robots.txt and specific site pages, which is standard behavior for search engine bots checking for crawling permissions and gathering publicly available information. If you want to verify the legitimacy of these visits, consider checking the reverse DNS for qwantbot-9-162-242-91.qwant.com, reviewing your server logs for user agent consistency, and consulting Qwant’s official bot documentation.

What does qwantbot do?

Qwantbot crawls websites to collect and index publicly accessible content for the Qwant search engine. This process helps Qwant provide up-to-date search results. The bot typically identifies itself with user agents such as 'Qwantbot/1.0' or similar variants, and it often requests the /robots.txt file to respect site owners’ crawling preferences. Site owners can control Qwantbot’s access by updating their robots.txt file, monitoring request frequency, and using allow/block lists as needed.

Is qwantbot safe?

Qwantbot is generally considered a legitimate search engine crawler and is not known to be malicious. Its behavior—such as requesting /robots.txt and using identifiable user agents—aligns with standard industry practices. However, as with any automated traffic, it is important to monitor for unusual activity or excessive requests. To ensure safety, verify the bot’s reverse DNS, check that user agents match official Qwantbot documentation, use robots.txt to manage access, and consider implementing rate limiting or web application firewall (WAF) rules if necessary.
