WebDecoy for Vercel - Know which crawlers hit your Vercel app, and which are fake

by

Connect a project and WebDecoy reads your Vercel log drain. No code changes. It identifies crawler traffic per request, verifies real crawlers against published IP ranges, and flags forged user agents. Monitoring only: it never blocks, never reports humans.

Hi PH, Chris here. WebDecoy is now on the Vercel Marketplace. Anyone can put "Googlebot" or "GPTBot" in a User-Agent header. WebDecoy checks each request against the crawler's published IP ranges and tells you which ones were real and which were forged. Setup is one click: connect a project and we configure a log drain. No code, no deploy. On Hobby, where drains are not available, one line of /next middleware does the same job. It is deliberately monitoring only. It never blocks or challenges a request, and human visitors are never reported. You get the answer to "who is actually crawling me?" with zero risk to production. Curious what you find. The share of forged crawler traffic tends to surprise people.
