Everyone assumes Googlebot is the dominant crawler hitting their website. That assumption is now wrong.
We analyzed 24,411,048 proxy requests across 78,000+ pages on 69 customer websites on Alli AI’s crawler enablement platform over a 55-day period (January to March 2026). OpenAI’s ChatGPT-User crawler made 3.6x more requests than Googlebot across our data sample. And that’s not even counting GPTBot, OpenAI’s separate training crawler.
