Gigabot — What It Is and How to Handle It

Gigabot is the web crawler used by Gigablast, an independent U.S. search engine that crawls and indexes web content using its own proprietary search algorithms and database.

Operator: Gigabot | Type: Search Engine | Category: Search Engine

Gigabot is a search engine crawler. Blocking it may affect your visibility in its associated search engine. Most publishers choose to allow verified search engine crawlers.

Centinel automatically detects Gigabot using behavioral fingerprinting. When detected, you can allow it, block it, challenge it with an interstitial page, or set a per-request licensing fee — all enforced in real-time with under 2ms latency.
