Recently, I noticed WordPress-style requests appearing in traffic logs for a Blogger-hosted, and Custom build website.
Examples included:
• /wp-admin
• /wp-login.php
• /xmlrpc.php
At first glance, many website owners assume this means their site has been hacked or misconfigured.
In reality, the explanation is usually much simpler.
Modern AI crawlers, search engines, security scanners, vulnerability assessment platforms, and automated bots often probe common application paths before determining the underlying technology stack.
In other words:
They don't always know you're running Blogger before they test for WordPress.
This behavior is common across the web and affects sites hosted on Blogger, WordPress, custom CMS platforms, static sites, and enterprise applications alike.
The key distinction is understanding the response:
✅ 404 = generally expected
✅ Blocked request = generally expected
⚠ Successful authentication or access = requires investigation
Security is not about reacting to every request.
Security is about understanding which requests matter.
I documented the full analysis, including how AI bots, search crawlers, and security scanners identify custom websites and why Blogger sites often receive WordPress probes.
