Why Is Cludo Visiting My Website?
Someone, most likely on your own team, configured Cludo to check your site. Uptime monitors, performance testers, and audit tools visit only the sites or endpoints they are told to watch.
Should I Block Cludo?
Only if no one on your team relies on it. Cludo may support uptime monitoring, performance tests, or audits. Blocking it without checking first can silently disrupt those workflows. For context, 7% of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for Cludo.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Traffic Patterns Should I Expect From Cludo?
Cludo's traffic often follows fixed intervals like a cron job. Activity may consist of short recurring checks or occasional intensive bursts, but it usually remains limited to a specific set of pages or endpoints.
Does Cludo Follow Robots.txt Rules?
No. Cludo is not expected to follow robots.txt rules, 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.
Is Cludo Used for AI Model Training?
Not ordinarily. Cludo is not categorized as an AI training scraper or data provider, so AI model training is not its expected purpose.
Does Blocking Cludo Affect AI Search or Citations?
Not directly. Cludo's expected purpose is not to supply an AI search index or retrieve pages for AI-generated answers.
Does Cludo Access Private Content?
Only when configured with access. A team may grant Cludo credentials to monitor staging sites or private health endpoints. Without those credentials, it sees only public pages.
How Can I Verify a Request From Cludo?
Agent Analytics tracks Cludo visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "Cludo". Look for repeated checks of the same pages or endpoints at regular intervals. Because Cludo does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
How Is Cludo Different From Other Cludo Agents?
Cludo operates separate agents for different purposes, so each agent should be evaluated and controlled independently.
