Case studies: image and video crawl, logged
Googlebot-Image is a separate line in your log.
→ Retailer image-crawl audit (Lumar) — found Googlebot-Image accounted for 41% of all bot requests, hammering 1.5MB uncompressed product shots. Compressing them cut total bot bandwidth 35% and freed HTML crawl.
Takeaway: image crawl can quietly dominate your budget.
⭐ Pick of the week — Merj media-crawl study — separated Googlebot, Googlebot-Image and Googlebot-Video in the log and showed video discovery lagged 3 weeks behind page discovery, explaining missing video-rich results.
Takeaway: each media bot has its own schedule, visible per user-agent.
→ Google image-SEO best practices — what the image bot rewards.
Takeaway: pairs with the audit above.
