alexa site audit
recommended: allowalexa site audit was a web crawler operated by Amazon as part of the Alexa Internet service, which provided website analytics and traffic data. The bot collected information for analyzing site performance and ranking websites, but Alexa Internet was shut down by Amazon in May 2022.
What it does
alexa site audit follows an algorithmic schedule shaped by your site's popularity, update cadence, and domain authority. It generally spreads requests across recurring crawl passes, throttles itself to limit server load, and respects crawl directives more reliably than most other bots.
