What is FeedFlow?
FeedFlow is an RSS reader application that fetches and syncs RSS feed content across multiple devices. The bot visits websites to retrieve RSS feed updates for users who have subscribed to those feeds through the FeedFlow app. Agent Analytics can track when it visits your website.

Expected Behavior
FeedFlow usually makes a single request within seconds of a URL being shared, without crawling further. Traffic rises and falls with sharing activity, so a widely circulated link can produce a sharp burst of fetches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block FeedFlow?
Usually not. Blocking FeedFlow may leave shared links without a title or image, making them less inviting to click. If it begins fetching at unexpected volume, try rate limiting before blocking it outright. Almost none of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for FeedFlow.
Does FeedFlow Follow Robots.txt Rules?
No. FeedFlow is not expected to follow robots.txt directives, so a disallow rule only communicates your preference. Enforce the block with firewall or server rules, then use Agent Analytics to verify that its requests stop.
Does FeedFlow Access Private Content?
No. FeedFlow has no credentials and should access only the public URL and assets needed for a preview. It does not continue through the rest of your site.
Why Is FeedFlow Visiting My Website?
Someone shared a link to your page. FeedFlow fetched it to build a preview card, and each new share may trigger another request. A spike often means your content is circulating more widely.
How Can I Tell if FeedFlow Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks FeedFlow visits in real time alongside every other known AI agent, crawler, and scraper. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "FeedFlow". Look for a page and its preview assets being requested without follow-up navigation. Because FeedFlow does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
