t3versions check bot

The t3versions bot is a friendly web crawler, which analyzes the TYPO3 major version of a website. You can identify the bot by the user agent string:

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; t3versionsCheckBot/1.2; +https://www.t3versions.com/check-bot)

The t3versions bot will save the TYPO3 version number and several public available data about the identified TYPO3 website to a database. Collected data is aggregated for statistical purposes only and publicly available at https://www.t3versions.com/statistics.

The t3versions check bot performs multiple GET requests to identify the TYPO3 major version. All requests are performed in a friendly manner and do not cause any load on the website.

File-Fingerprinting is performed with 1 second wait time tween every request.

The most easy way to block the t3versions check bot from visiting your website is to block requests with the t3versions check bot User Agent String.

If you have no possibility or knowledge on how to block requests on user agent basis, your domain name or ip address can manually be excluded from the t3versions bot. To get your domain name or ip address excluded from the bot, please contact me by email at derhansen@gmail.com.

Please note, that the t3versions project is a private project with no commercial interests. Data is collected for statistical purposes to get information about the worldwide usage and general development of the open source content management system TYPO3 CMS.
