Mobile Menu Probe

Detection approach

Mobile early navigation probing detected. On mobile layouts, crawlers often need to open the hamburger menu to discover hidden navigation links. This signal fires when a touch/mobile session taps a top-corner menu toggle almost immediately after page load, then rapidly taps inside the menu before any scroll or reading context.

How this helps detect bots

This signal is assessed with other independent session, browser, and network evidence. A single anomaly is a lead, not a verdict; corroborating anomalies make automated traffic more likely.

Legitimate traffic to consider

Real users who land with a specific navigation goal and immediately open the mobile menu. This is contextual supporting evidence, not a standalone bot verdict.
