User-Agents

A user-agent is a "thing" that visit your web site. It can human (e.g.: a browser) or a robot (e.g.: a search engine robot).

This page resume the activity of all user-agents.

All columns are sortable. You can see the unknown useragent list (= useragents that are not in the database) by clicking on the "unknown" link. You can also click on an user-agent name to have detailed information.

The column "Hit on /robots.txt" tells if the user-agent has retrieved the file "/robots.txt", while the "Trapped" column tells that if the user-agent has fall in a robot trap. Robots should have both columns checked (), unchecked columns () showing badly designed robots. Human user-agents should have both columns unchecked, checked columns showing robots spoofing as human user-agent.

User-agents that produce no visits but pages and hits comes from the hosts that have changed their user-agent during the visit. This could be because the host is a proxy.
