New crawling location and IP range
We have updated the Site Audit bot's crawling location on December 23, 2024:
The Site Audit bot now crawls from the USA, instead of France. Crawls that were in progress at the time of the switch will finish crawling from France, while all new and subsequent crawls will run from the USA.
A new range of IP addresses has been introduced:
202.8.40.0/22
. If you haven’t already, please add it to your whitelist to ensure uninterrupted crawling of your sites.
The good news is that Google primarily crawls from the USA, so your Site Audit reports will now better reflect how Google sees your website.
Ranges being retired
We are also retiring some existing IP ranges:
The
168.119.*
IP addresses have been retired and are no longer in use. If you have these IPs whitelisted, please remove them from your configurations.The
195.154.*
IP addresses will be retired effective December 31, 2024. This range remains in use until that date, so please ensure it stays on your whitelist until then. After December 31, it should be removed to maintain accurate configurations.
Note: You can pull our IP addresses via APIv3 as individual IPs or IP ranges.
Our crawlers AhrefsBot and AhrefsSiteAudit use both IP ranges, as well as individual IPs. Please whitelist all IP addresses to allow access.
We take responsibility for the traffic coming from our publicly published IPs. In case you encounter any issues with our IP ranges, please email support.
