Frequently Asked Questions
What Traffic Patterns Should I Expect From Crazy Egg Bot?
Crazy Egg Bot'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 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.
Is Crazy Egg Bot Used for AI Model Training?
Not ordinarily. Crazy Egg Bot is not categorized as an AI training scraper or data provider, so AI model training is not its expected purpose.
Does Blocking Crazy Egg Bot Affect AI Search or Citations?
Not directly. Crazy Egg Bot's expected purpose is not to supply an AI search index or retrieve pages for AI-generated answers.
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 Verify a Request From Crazy Egg Bot?
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.
