What is VeltimaBot?
VeltimaBot is a web crawler operated by Veltima. It analyzes publicly visible e-commerce storefront characteristics — such as which CMS or platform a store uses, whether public contact information is available, and what technologies are present on the site.
It does not crawl entire websites. Each visit is limited to a small number of pages.
What it visits
- Homepage (
/) robots.txt- A contact or about page, when allowed by robots.txt
- Occasionally a single product or category page

How it behaves
- Uses a stable, honest User-Agent — does not disguise itself as a browser or known crawler
- Makes one request at a time per host with controlled delays and random jitter
- Does not re-crawl the same host more than once in a 24-hour period
- Stops immediately on
403,429, or any denial signal and enters cooldown - Does not execute JavaScript, submit forms, or trigger any actions
- Does not access login-protected or authenticated areas
- Does not download images, videos, CSS, JS, or binary assets
- Does not attempt to bypass CAPTCHAs or anti-bot challenges
- Does not intentionally maintain browsing sessions
- Does not impersonate browsers or known crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot, etc.)
