For site owners
UnvelloBot
UnvelloBot reads a small number of public pages when someone asks UnvelloWeb to audit a website.
How it behaves
- It identifies itself as
UnvelloBot/1.0with a link to this page. - It reads your robots.txt first and follows it. If the homepage is disallowed, it stops.
- It fetches about one page per second and reads at most a few dozen pages per audit on the free plan.
- It never tries to get around bot protection, logins or paywalls.
- It only reads public pages and never submits forms. On paid plans it may run a page's JavaScript in a browser to read content built there.
Block or limit it
Add this to your robots.txt to stop UnvelloBot from crawling your site:
User-agent: UnvelloBot Disallow: /
To have your domain excluded from audits entirely, contact us from an address at that domain. Opted-out domains are added to our block list and can't be audited by anyone.
