The original title is: "AI Crawlers Are Scanning Your Site Right Now - How to Check and Control Access"

Short summary

AI crawlers like GPTBot and ClaudeBot now regularly scan websites for training and indexing. Audit your server logs and robots.txt rules to see which crawlers are accessing your site, then configure intentional crawler rules to allow public-content access while blocking sensitive paths (/admin, /api) with proper authentication, not robots.txt alone. Use the provided robots.txt template, ensure sitemaps are discoverable, and enable /llms.txt for AI readiness.
