AI Discovery Index

Mojodojo.io's AI Discovery Index, tracking 73 newly published pages since 6 June 2026, found that Bingbot was first to reach 51% of pages and Anthropic's ClaudeBot first on 49%, with a median time to first visit of 14 hours for both. The site reported that 38% of new pages received a visit from an AI crawler within a day, while OpenAI's GPTBot reached 43 of 73 pages at a median of 38 hours and PerplexityBot and Meta-ExternalAgent lagged at 3.8 and 4.0 days respectively. Live user fetches were rare: ChatGPT-User reached 14 of 73 pages at a median of 19 hours, and DuckDuckBot, Claude-User and DuckAssistBot reached none of the 73 pages.

Every new page on mojodojo.io starts a clock. We time the first verified visit from each search engine and AI crawler, and the first time an assistant reads the page live for a person. These are aggregates across every new page published in the period.

The dot is the median across the new pages the crawler has reached (log scale), and the bar covers the middle half of those pages. Diamonds are live fetches for a person. Hollow dots mean fewer than 3 pages reached, so treat them as anecdotes.

Median time from publish for the pages published in each bucket (log scale). The number under each bucket is how many new pages it contains. Gaps are buckets with no new pages.

  • First crawl, any bot
  • First AI crawler
  • First live user fetch

About this data. 330 pages were published since tracking began on 6 Jun 2026.

219 are excluded because their URL was already live before they were published. Visits since 12 Oct 2026 carry exact timestamps (89% of the pages in this view have at least one). Before that only the day is known, so first visits are estimated at the middle of the remaining day.

About this data. 330 pages were published since tracking began on 6 Jun 2026.

219 are excluded because their URL was already live before they were published. Visits since 12 Oct 2026 carry exact timestamps (77% of the pages in this view have at least one). Before that only the day is known, so first visits are estimated at the middle of the remaining day.

Method. Publish times come from the CMS (published_at). First visits come from our own server log and leave out any hit that fails verification against the operator's published IP ranges or reverse DNS, so fake bots never count. Pages whose URL was already being crawled before their publish date (republished or migrated pages) are excluded, so the clock only starts for pages that were genuinely new. Medians use only the pages a crawler has reached; "still waiting" counts the rest.
