bingbot
recommended: allowbingbot is Microsoft's standard web crawler that handles most of Bing's crawling needs each day, indexing web content for Bing search results using both desktop and mobile variants.
What it does
bingbot 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 rules more reliably than most other bots.
How to identify it
User-agent contains any of:
bingbot
robots.txt
Well-behaved crawlers honor robots.txt. To control bingbot:
Allow full access
User-agent: bingbot
Allow: /Block entirely
User-agent: bingbot
Disallow: /
Grey-area scrapers ignore robots.txt. Botscope enforces your policy at the edge or origin regardless —
