Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block XY-Archive-Compliance-Archiver?
Rarely. XY-Archive-Compliance-Archiver preserves snapshots of your pages through redesigns, migrations, and broken links. Blocking it prevents future captures but does not remove existing snapshots. To remove those, you must contact the archive directly. Almost none of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for XY-Archive-Compliance-Archiver.
Does XY-Archive-Compliance-Archiver Follow Robots.txt Rules?
Yes. XY-Archive-Compliance-Archiver 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 XY-Archive-Compliance-Archiver respects it.

No. XY-Archive-Compliance-Archiver archives only what an anonymous visitor can see. Anything public at crawl time may remain available in its archive long after you remove it from your site.
