recommended: observeYepBot is a web crawler operated by Ahrefs that supports Yep, a search engine providing web search results for human users and AI agents.
What it does
YepBot revisits your site on a flexible schedule, often requesting several pages in a burst. Activity usually increases when your content changes or its index refreshes, with quiet intervals between crawl passes.
How to identify it

User-agent: YepBot
Allow: /Block entirely
User-agent: YepBot
Disallow: /
