Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block FlyingPress?
Consider blocking FlyingPress only if you do not want your pages included in SEO databases. It does not influence how search engines rank you, and blocking it will not hide backlinks to your site because those are discovered on the linking sites. Almost none of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for FlyingPress.
Does FlyingPress Follow Robots.txt Rules?
Yes. FlyingPress is expected to follow robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule is the appropriate first step. Automatic Robots.txt can add and maintain that rule, while Agent Analytics lets you verify whether FlyingPress respects it.
Does FlyingPress Access Private Content?
No. FlyingPress can reach only public pages, and authentication prevents it from accessing private content.
How Can I Tell if FlyingPress Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks visits from FlyingPress and every other known AI agent, crawler, and scraper, then authenticates each visit using FlyingPress's published verification method. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "FlyingPress". Look for comprehensive site crawls that follow internal links. A matching log entry alone is not proof because any bot can claim to be FlyingPress.
Why Is FlyingPress Visiting My Website?
Your domain appears in the ranking, backlink, or competitor data maintained by FlyingPress's operator. A customer may be tracking your site, one of your competitors, or a backlink that connects another site to yours.
