Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block RankMath Link Checker?
Consider blocking RankMath Link Checker only if you do not want your pages included in SEO databases. It does not influence how search engines rank you, and blocking it will not hide backlinks to your site because those are discovered on the linking sites. Almost none of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for RankMath Link Checker.
Does RankMath Link Checker Follow Robots.txt Rules?
Yes. RankMath Link Checker 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 RankMath Link Checker respects it.
Does RankMath Link Checker Access Private Content?
No. RankMath Link Checker can reach only public pages, and authentication prevents it from accessing private content.
Why Is RankMath Link Checker Visiting My Website?
Your domain appears in the ranking, backlink, or competitor data maintained by RankMath Link Checker's operator. A customer may be tracking your site, one of your competitors, or a backlink that connects another site to yours.
How Can I Tell if RankMath Link Checker Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks RankMath Link Checker 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 "RankMath Link Checker". Look for comprehensive site crawls that follow internal links. Because RankMath Link Checker does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
