Search your web server access logs for the string hada.news (case-insensitive grep: grep -i "hada.news" /var/log/nginx/access.log). You can also check Google Search Console → Coverage → Crawl Stats for Googlebot variants. For hada.news specifically, filter by user-agent in your log analysis tool (GoAccess, AWStats, etc.).
