robots.txt - Crawl-Delay: 20

edited Nov 27, 2019 7:42PM in Web Site / E-Commerce 147 comments

Anybody notice a new addition to their robots.txt?

NetSuite is adding:
Crawl-Delay: 20

This translates into requesting that any spider / bot which comes through to wait 20 seconds between requests.

Its not really a big deal, I would not want a bot going any faster than this anyway.

That said, the rogue bots are why you would do such a command but those rogue bots will not respect it anyway.

From what I have read, Google does not recognize the command. Yahoo and MSN apparently do. Anybody know the answer for Ask.com?

Does anyone recall a announcement that robots.txt was being modified?

Howdy, Stranger!
