ua-tracer

what does a user agent actually fetch, follow & run?

All recent homepage requests, newest first. This page does not mint a new trace (unlike /), so you can browse the log without adding noise.

Filter by user agent and the matching requests appear right below. Showing requests whose user agent contains meta-externalagent/1.1 (+https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/crawler).

Unsolicited / well-known requests

Paths a user agent fetched on its own that ua-tracer never links to: robots.txt, sitemap.xml, /.well-known/*, llms.txt, the root favicon, and similar. Reveals what an agent probes on its own initiative.

Filtered to user agent meta-externalagent/1.1 (+https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/crawler). clear filters

By path

Each unsolicited path with its request count and how many distinct user agents hit it. Click a path to see the individual requests; click a user agent below to reverse-look-up everything that UA did.

No unsolicited paths fetched yet.

Requests (0 shown)

The Related trace column links a probe to a homepage trace from the same user agent and IP within 30 minutes (the same crawler that fetched a well-known file usually also loaded /). The offset shows how long before/after the probe that trace was minted.

No unsolicited probe requests match the current filter.
