EdgeComet Log Analyzer
edgecomet.com
What it is
EdgeComet Log Analyzer records search-engine and AI-crawler requests together with the page state each bot received, helping teams examine crawling and indexing. It covers bots such as Googlebot, Bingbot, GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and Perplexity. For each request, it can show the title, meta description, canonical, robots directives, hreflang, and structured data in the HTML served to the bot. Requests are classified as valuable, questionable, or wasted, with causes such as errors, redirects, blocked URLs, non-canonical pages, and render errors. Bot identities are checked against published IP ranges, with 35 real identities supported for verification. Collection requires routing bot requests through EdgeComet via a CDN or proxy; it does not import or parse log files. Supported routing platforms include Cloudflare Workers, Fastly VCL, AWS CloudFront Lambda@Edge, and nginx. The product also offers an HTTP API, an MCP server, and an Apache-2.0 open-source rendering and caching core that can be self-hosted. Professional costs $99 a month. There is no free plan; a 14-day trial is listed.
