User-Agent Analyzer
Identify browser, operating system, device class and likely bots from a user-agent string.
When to use the User-Agent Analyzer
Use it to identify the browser, OS, device and likely bots behind a user-agent string from logs or analytics.
Examples
- Check whether a traffic spike comes from a crawler.
- Identify the browser behind a bug report.
Common mistakes
- Trusting user-agents for security; they are trivially faked.
- Blocking legitimate crawlers by matching too broadly.
