What we read

Why it crawls your site

The bot crawls specific URLs only when a user explicitly initiates a test or sets up a monitoring task through the Check-Host.cc dashboard. It acts as a synthetic monitoring agent, sending requests to the target host to measure response times, status codes, and network path integrity. Operators can verify the bot's activity by checking the User-Agent string against the official documentation provided on the Check-Host.cc website.
