Everything You Want to Know about ClarityBot

ClarityBot is how seoClarity's on-demand page and site audit crawler identifies itself. Note: the operator recorded for this row (Microsoft) appears to conflate this bot with the separate Microsoft Clarity analytics product - flagged for review.

Why it's crawling your site

Crawls are triggered on-demand by seoClarity clients to analyze pages for technical SEO and content issues; it does not affect search rankings.

How ClarityBot views your website

ClarityBot fetches raw page HTML (full page html, on-demand) — it does not execute JavaScript. Content that only appears after client-side rendering is invisible to it.
