Crawlers Protection Bypass
🤖 Responsible Crawling with CrawlersProtectionBypass
Some web resources intentionally slow down or limit automated traffic — not to block you, but to protect themselves. WDS gives you fine-grained tools to cooperate with those systems, avoid overload, and ensure your crawler behaves like a good citizen on the network.
What it does
CrawlersProtectionBypass doesn’t “bypass protection” — it helps your crawler adapt:
- MaxResponseSizeKb — Stop oversized downloads before they hurt performance
- MaxRedirectHops — Avoid redirect spirals common on legacy or misconfigured sites
- RequestTimeoutSec — Prevent hanging requests from stalling the crawl
- CrawlDelays — Add per-host pacing to avoid throttling and respect servers’ capacity. robots-guided delays — Let WDS follow robots.txt delay rules automatically
Why it matters
✔️ Prevents your crawler from harming fragile or old intranet systems
✔️ Reduces the chance of the target throttling or blocking your requests
✔️ Improves crawl stability on private networks, legacy apps, and low-capacity servers
✔️ Plays nicely with robots.txt and site owners’ expectations
✔️ Makes WDS a safe crawler for sensitive enterprise environments
