Googlebot IP address list

Googlebot IP address list: -

  • Knowing which bot is really from Google and which is not can help to decide which rogue bots to block from the site.
  • Google has published the full list of IP addresses that it uses to track and access the website under the Googlebot user agents.
  • Google said that if one doesn't want to use reverse DNS other than those kinds of methods to verify Googlebot, one "can identify Googlebot by IP address by matching the crawler's IP address to Googlebot's list of IP addresses."
  • If one believes that someone is crawling the site, posing as a Googlebot, and wants to verify that blocking this fake Googlebot crawler is not really Google, then they can use the command line method or the list method of Automated IP.

IP list:

  • One can access the full list of Googlebot's IP addresses here in this JSON file, note that this list may be updated by Google, so one should probably check the file on a daily basis.
  • All other Google trackers that match the IP address of the tracker can also be accessed with the full list of Google IP addresses.
  • These IP addresses can change over time, so a way to update the IP addresses should be built into the mechanisms at the end.
  • Oftentimes sites can slow down and possibly even go offline due to rogue bots crawling and scratching the site.
  • Someone rarely wants to block Google from crawling the site because that can lead to indexing and ranking problems in Google Search.
  • So knowing which bot is actually Google and which is not can help to decide which rogue bots to block from the site.
  • There are also third-party services, such as Cloudflare and others that help manage.
