Mistral crawls 3,389 pages for every referral it sends back — now the most extractive AI bot on the web, ahead of Anthropic (2,237:1) and OpenAI (217:1). I cross-checked Cloudflare Radar's global network against SEOmator's own 500+ site panel to rebuild the crawl-to-refer ratio for July 2026.

Only 46% of AI-crawler requests now get a 200 OK, more than a quarter are blocked or throttled, and which bot dominates flips completely by country.
