Outliers & Hall of Fame

The famous, the weird, and the extreme. Largest files (johnmu.com class), most directives, and content-type mismatches — where the served MIME type disagrees with the sniffed true type (a real conformance anomaly, free from Common Crawl's dual MIME columns).

RFC 9309 requires parsers honor at least 500 KiB; files above that are truncated by Google. Our canonical size outlier is johnmu.com (~1.65 MB, simultaneously a valid WAV file and a valid robots.txt). Rows marked truncated hit Common Crawl's 5 MiB capture cap — the actual file is larger.

Most user-agents addressed

Files naming the most distinct crawler user-agents — a signal of operator sophistication (or blocklist maximalism). A robots.txt addressing hundreds of bots is making a deliberate statement about who may crawl.
