Bots - More visibility into bot traffic with BotBase and Business Insights

<p>With Content Independence Day 2026, <a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/bots/get-started/bot-management/">Enterprise Bot Management</a> customers get two new tools that make bot traffic far easier to see and reason about: <a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/bots/botbase/">BotBase</a>, a searchable directory of every bot Cloudflare tracks, and <a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/bots/business-insights/">Business Insights</a>, a dashboard that shows how much value each crawler sends back to your business.</p> <p>BotBase is Cloudflare's directory of all known bots and agents, available directly in the dashboard. It shows how Cloudflare classifies each bot by behavior — Search, Agent, Training, and other categories such as Transact, Data Collection, SEO, and Ads Verification — so you can understand why a given crawler is visiting you. You can search and filter the full catalogue, filter your own traffic down to a single bot to investigate its activity on your zone, and copy any bot's detection ID to target it precisely in <a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/security/rules/">Security rules</a>. Every tracked bot in BotBase is also published in <a href="https://radar.cloudflare.com/bots/directory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cloudflare Radar's bots and agents directory<span class="external-link"> ↗︎</span></a>.</p> <p>Business Insights is built for content owners and business decision-makers who want to know which bots help or harm their business, without reading rule syntax. The dashboard reports crawl-to-referral ratios both site-wide and per bot operator — comparing how often a company crawls your content against how many visitors it actually refers back — over the last 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Each operator is labeled with Cloudflare's <a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/bots/concepts/bot/verified-bots/">updated classification</a> and an action status of Allowed, Blocked, or Partially blocked, giving stakeholders a shared, at-a-glance view of the AI traffic reaching your site.</p> <img src="https://developers.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/image/onerror=redirect,width=8192,height=5064,format=webp/_astro/attribution-business-insights.Cu-ZtxkX.png" alt="The Business Insights dashboard, showing bot traffic, content page requests, crawl-to-referral ratio, and a per-operator bot activity table" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="8192" height="5064">
