The rise of AI crawlers has transformed the web crawling landscape, with some AI bots experiencing significant growth and others declining sharply. Googlebot emerged as the dominant force, growing 96% in one year, while GPTBot from OpenAI rose to 7.7% share, a 305% increase in requests. The data also shows that traditional search crawlers have struggled, with Bingbot's share declining slightly. AI crawlers are increasingly being used for training large language models, and their growth is expected to continue, driven by the merging roles of search engines and AI. Websites face new challenges in managing their online presence as a result, but also opportunities to adapt and thrive in this evolving space. The trend towards stronger, enforceable blocking methods signals a key shift in how websites interact with AI systems, and Cloudflare is investing in tools to support this effort. As the Internet continues to evolve, web crawlers will play an increasingly important role in shaping its future.
