An open-source diagnostic that probes a URL with 80+ search, AI, SEO, directory, and social crawler user-agents.

Why it surfaced

BotsVisibility reports which crawlers a host blocks, throttles, or sends noindex challenges to, with a serial mode designed to stay under common rate limits. Its specific origin story is unusually concrete: the creators say SiteGround’s default WAF blocked 16 of 23 AI crawlers on their sites.
