Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block Superfeedr bot?
Usually not. Blocking Superfeedr bot 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 Superfeedr bot.
Does Superfeedr bot Follow Robots.txt Rules?
No. Superfeedr bot 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 Superfeedr bot Access Private Content?
No. Superfeedr bot 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 Superfeedr bot Visiting My Website?
