list five of yours

Hi everyone!

We monitor our servers performance every day. And every single day we see a huge pile or requests made by crawling bots.

Some of them are search engines, but some just come to get the information for themselves. Sometimes they become too greedy and we have to block them. Though they do no har deliberately, they might eat resources and bandwidth resulting in performance sagging in the end.

The illustration is below. Not too impressive, but that is on an average day.

We've made a list of 5 Bad Bots that waste and 5 Good Bots that add value to your website.

#1 Bad bot in our practice appeared to be MJ12Bot by Majestic.

#1 Good bot is Googlebot by Google (no surprise here)

Read more about bots on our blog.

Why don't we create an extended list of Bad bots and put them into a single file for the sake of CS-Cart users? I know that there are millions of them, but elt's share those you meet in your practice.

If you're the one who hasn't migrated to HTTPS yet and going to do it in the nearest future, here's a checklist of the most important things to keep in mind.

1. Update internal links to pages on your site – all of them must start with https://

2. Make sure that all external links lead to the updated pages of your site with HTTPS.

3. Check all occurrences of the IMG/CSS/JS tags in your code – they must start with https://.

4. Make sure that you have specified 301 redirects. These are the redirects that are used when moving to HTTPS.

5. Make sure that you have protected the whole site, not just one of its elements (login page, order goods page, etc.).

6. Check the canonical links. All links with rel = canonical should lead to your new HTTPS pages.

7. Make sure that your CDN-provider supports HTTPS (today almost all CDN-providers have such support).

8. Set up HTTPS in Google Search Console. A site with HTTPS must be added as New Property in Search Console. Do not forget to reload the Disavow file.

9. Open the indexing of your HTTPS pages if it was closed earlier.

10. Send an updated sitemap.xml with HTTPS URLs to Search Console so that Google can better index your site.

11. Keep track of the traffic of your new site. Initially, the traffic will drop while the transition to HTTPS, but later it will normalize and enter new, higher positions.
