What is AffsignalCrawler?

AffsignalCrawler's traffic pattern depends on the intelligence being collected. It may revisit specific pages on a schedule, crawl broader sections of your site, or appear only when information is requested. Its request scope and frequency reflect the underlying objective.

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

Possibly, but its category does not establish that purpose. AffsignalCrawler's operator may use or provide the collected content for AI training or for unrelated automated tasks.

Not directly. AffsignalCrawler's expected purpose is not to supply an AI search index or retrieve pages for AI-generated answers.

No special access. AffsignalCrawler can read publicly available pages but cannot bypass authentication. Assume anything you publish openly may be collected.

Agent Analytics tracks AffsignalCrawler visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "AffsignalCrawler". Traffic may range from repeated requests to the same pages to broader crawls or one-off fetches. Because AffsignalCrawler does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.

Affsignal operates separate agents for different purposes, so each agent should be evaluated and controlled independently.
