Bots and people are served different content

Checks

• Text differs between bots and visitors text_differs_by_user_agent
• Bots get a consent wall or challenge page bot_gets_consent_wall_or_challenge_page
• Bots get a different language or region bot_gets_different_language_or_region
• Text shown only to bots hidden_text_only_for_bots
• Bots get only the paywall preview bot_gets_paywall_preview_only

Findings

• A crawler is served different content from a browser

What this relies on

Differences are accidental (consent walls, geo rules, bot protection), not deliberate cloaking.

How to verify by hand

A person; and the cached or quoted text in search and AI results.
