Monsidobot

Verifiable

Acquia Web Governance (formerly Monsido) crawler, which scans the public websites its customers have configured to run accessibility, quality assurance and policy checks. It also issues link-status checks against third-party sites that customers have linked to, preferring HEAD requests for those. Acquia documents a fallback user agent — a plain Chrome string with no identifying token — used only when the primary one fails, so a share of its traffic is identifiable by address rather than by user agent.
