How Bots and AI Agents are Impacting Modern Infrastructure

The internet has reached a tipping point: in 2026, nearly 50% of all web traffic consists of bot traffic.

As we shift from the "Search" era to the "Agentic" era, the way bots interact with your infrastructure has now changed. It’s no longer just about blocking malicious actors; it’s about understanding bot intent.

• The 50/50 Traffic Split: Why human and bot traffic are now neck-and-neck and what that means for your egress costs.

• Beyond SEO: Understanding AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) to ensure your brand exists in LLM responses.

• The “Wanted Bot” Opportunity: How to identify and prioritize "Wanted Bots" (like OpenAI and Perplexity) that drive business value.
