The same registry NdovuSEOLabs uses to classify crawler traffic in your server and CDN logs, built from the operator’s own documentation.

See which of these crawlers visit your site.
Crawl Analytics reads your own server and CDN logs and checks each claim against the operator’s published IP ranges and DNS.
