How to check if googlebot visited my site?

Hi all, how do you check if googlebot has visited your website? Regular visit counters don't tell you!

Which control panel are you using?

cpanel, but Awstats is not working. I got this error for daily stats:
"Never updated (See 'Build/Update' on awstats_setup.html page)".

Matomo has the feature to filter bot traffic,
You can get decent analytics of the gbots traffic/visits

Use

Google Search Console >Setting >Crawling>Crawl Stats .

Then hit the "Open Report Button"

To check if Googlebot has visited your site, you need to use specialized tools and methods to track crawler activity, as regular visit counters (such as Google Analytics) cannot distinguish between bots and human visitors. Access your site's server logs through your hosting provider's control panel (e.g., cPanel, Plesk) or ask your webmaster. Look for entries where the user-agent string contains "Googlebot." Use a reverse DNS lookup (e.g., via nslookup to verify that the IP address belongs to Google to avoid fake bots tricking Googlebot. Check if Googlebot is crawling your main "Seiko" pillar page and the specific model pages. If only one page is crawled, this could indicate site resource cannibalization or crawl budget issues.
