Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block Crazy Egg Bot?
Only if no one on your team relies on it. Crazy Egg Bot 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 Crazy Egg Bot.
Does Crazy Egg Bot Follow Robots.txt Rules?
No. Crazy Egg Bot 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.
Does Crazy Egg Bot Access Private Content?
Only when configured with access. A team may grant Crazy Egg Bot credentials to monitor staging sites or private health endpoints. Without those credentials, it sees only public pages.
How Can I Tell if Crazy Egg Bot Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks Crazy Egg Bot visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "Crazy Egg Bot". Look for repeated checks of the same pages or endpoints at regular intervals. Because Crazy Egg Bot does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
Why Is Crazy Egg Bot Visiting My Website?
Someone, most likely on your own team, configured Crazy Egg Bot to check your site. Uptime monitors, performance testers, and audit tools visit only the sites or endpoints they are told to watch.
