YandexMobileBot is Yandex’s mobile-focused web crawler used to evaluate and index content as it appears on smartphones and other mobile devices. It simulates mobile browsing conditions to assess layout, performance, usability, and content accessibility. The bot fetches pages, structured data, and media assets to support Yandex’s mobile search results and ranking systems. Crawl frequency depends on site popularity and update cadence, with emphasis on pages optimized for mobile users. Its role is to ensure accurate, mobile-friendly representation of content within Yandex Search. It ignores the global robots.txt user agent (*) rule. RobotSense.io verifies YandexMobileBot using Yandex’s official validation methods, ensuring only genuine YandexMobileBot traffic is identified.

This bot does not honor Crawl-Delay rule.
