<title>Defense Against Spiders</title>

The website presented by a Fossil server has many hyperlinks.
Even a modest project can have millions of pages in its
tree, and many of those pages (for example diffs and annotations
and ZIP archive of older check-ins) can be expensive to compute.
If a spider or bot tries to walk a website implemented by
Fossil, it can present a crippling bandwidth and CPU load.

The website presented by a Fossil server is intended to be used
interactively by humans, not walked by spiders.  This article
describes the techniques used by Fossil to try to welcome human
users while keeping out spiders.
