Fabrice Canel from Microsoft mentioned on Twitter final night time that 5% of all URLs downloaded are over the brand new BingBot person agent.
To take you again, in April, Bing introduced a brand new person agent for its crawler, BingBot. That new BingBot will likely be totally stay someday within the fall of 2022, however for now, we’re simply in the summertime and the autumn is a few months away.
Slowly, Microsoft has been bringing this new BingBot person agent on board and now it’s crawling about 5% of all URLs. Within the subsequent few months or so, it needs to be nearer to 100% of all URLs downloaded or crawled.
Right here is Fabrice’s tweet:
