On September 1 we completed the full migration from Akamai to CloudFront. Since then Bing crawlers have been all over the place with inconsistencies in crawl fluctuating as much as 65% depending on the day.
Previously we were on Akamai and for 2 years, the crawl numbers from Bing never fluctuated day-to-day by more than 3%. In August, we began the migration with images. On the day of image move, Bing crawl collapsed 31%. A week later it fully recovers making us comfortable to switch wholly to CloudFront. On the day of the full move, there was no seismic drop like with the images however over the last 48 days there has been 0 day-to-day patterns with our charts looking like a shark bite.
Has anyone else gone through a migration to CloudFront?
Has anyone noticed odd crawling patterns from Bing starting ~8/24?
If you have gone through a migration, what did you observe with crawl patterns?
Open question to all, How have you gone about discovering bugs that are impacting Bingbot but not Gbot? Curious to hear your thoughts!
Thanks,
Z
