Frequently Asked Questions
What Traffic Patterns Should I Expect From Cocolyzebot?
Cocolyzebot usually performs comprehensive, link-following crawls rather than spot checks. Visit frequency may rise while a customer actively monitors your site or a related market.
Does Cocolyzebot Follow Robots.txt Rules?
Cocolyzebot 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 Cocolyzebot respects it.
Is Cocolyzebot Used for AI Model Training?
Not ordinarily. Cocolyzebot is not categorized as an AI training scraper or data provider, so AI model training is not its expected purpose.
Does Blocking Cocolyzebot Affect AI Search or Citations?
Not directly. Cocolyzebot's expected purpose is not to supply an AI search index or retrieve pages for AI-generated answers.
Does Cocolyzebot Access Private Content?
No. Cocolyzebot can reach only public pages, and authentication prevents it from accessing private content.
How Can I Verify a Request From Cocolyzebot?
Agent Analytics tracks Cocolyzebot visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "Cocolyzebot". Look for comprehensive site crawls that follow internal links. Because Cocolyzebot does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
