AI Crawl Control Overview tab now default view

AI Crawl Control now defaults to a new Overview tab that provides executive summaries of AI crawler requests, including metrics like total requests, status codes, and popular paths. Users can now filter activity by date range, crawler operator (OpenAI, Google, etc.), hostname, or path, while individual crawler controls remain available in the Crawlers tab.

The Overview tab is now the default view in AI Crawl Control. The previous default view with controls for individual AI crawlers is available in the Crawlers tab.

What's new

  • Executive summary — Monitor total requests, volume change, most common status code, most popular path, and high-volume activity
  • Operator grouping — Track crawlers by their operating companies (OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, ByteDance, Anthropic, Meta)
  • Customizable filters — Filter your snapshot by date range, crawler, operator, hostname, or path
