Frequently Asked Questions

Should I Block omgili?

Block omgili if you want more control over whether your work is used for AI training. Allowing it may increase the chance that your brand appears in AI-generated answers, but either choice leaves traditional search rankings unchanged. For context, 14% of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for omgili.


Does omgili Follow Robots.txt Rules?

Yes. omgili is expected to follow robots.txt directives, so a disallow rule is the appropriate first step. Automatic Robots.txt can add and maintain that rule, while Agent Analytics lets you verify whether omgili respects it.


Does omgili Access Private Content?

Not through legitimate access. omgili primarily targets public content, but some training-data scrapers also attempt to collect gated or paywalled pages. If content loads without authentication, assume it can be collected.


Why Is omgili Visiting My Website?

Your content matched the criteria Webz.io set for a training dataset. omgili typically discovers pages through external links, sitemaps, and seed lists rather than because someone selected your site individually.


How Can I Tell if omgili Is Visiting My Website?

Agent Analytics tracks omgili 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 "omgili". Look for high page counts, short gaps between requests, and deep traversal through linked content. Because omgili does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
