Why does Bing bot crawl so aggressively?

[Roverandom]

We observer that the Bing bot is crawling our site very aggressively. We set Bing's crawl control so that it should not crawl us during heavy traffic hours, but that did not change a thing. Does anyone have the problem and even better a solution?

Hi Thomas,

I didn't tested this ever for my website but you can give this a try by mentioning in robots.txt file

User-agent: bingbot
Crawl-delay: 1

• 1 – Slow
• 5 – Very Slow
• 10 – Extremely Slow

Thanks
