Bot Internet Indexing

What Bots Index Websites?

This page shows the bots and automated agents visiting our secret root domain endpoint since 18 June 2026. To make it harder to find, the domain name was an obscure random string of letters and numbers on a rarely used TLD. The website loaded JavaScript, Images and Media and premium web technologies to determine how deep the site was being indexed.

Where are the competitors? 😳

Since our secret website was created on 18th June 2026, not a single company that considers themselves a technology indexing competitor found the website in the 109 days the experiment has run for.

 

BuiltWith found the website within 2 days of the site existing without any insider knowledge from ourselves. This means if you were using a competitor for technology tracking it will miss sites by a very, very large margin if it finds them at all.

424 identified user agents made 121,950 requests across 74,056 sessions from 10,316 IP addresses. Data last generated 05 October 2026 00:20 UTC.

bing.com was identified through 5 user agents, making 619 requests from 201 IP addresses.

Its first visit was 2 days, 2 hours, 29 minutes, 45 seconds after the site was made live.
