Expected Behavior
FrogleBot follows an algorithmic schedule shaped by your site's popularity, update cadence, and domain authority. It generally spreads requests across recurring crawl passes, throttles itself to limit server load, and respects crawl rules more reliably than most other bots.
How To Block FrogleBot With Robots.txt
Add this rule to your robots.txt file to block FrogleBot from accessing your website, or use Automatic Robots.txt to block all search engine crawlers at once. You can customize which pages are blocked by swapping out / for a different path.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block FrogleBot?
No, unless you want to remove your pages from that search engine. FrogleBot supplies its index, so blocking it can eliminate your visibility and organic traffic there. Nearly every website should allow this category. Almost none of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for FrogleBot.
Does FrogleBot Follow Robots.txt Rules?
Yes. FrogleBot 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 FrogleBot respects it.
Does FrogleBot Access Private Content?
No special access. FrogleBot can reach only content available to anonymous visitors and does not sign in. Make sure sensitive content is not public by mistake.
How Can I Tell if FrogleBot Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks FrogleBot visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "FrogleBot". Look for recurring passes that revisit changed pages and discover new ones. Because FrogleBot does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
Why Is FrogleBot Visiting My Website?
FrogleBot is adding new or changed pages to its search index. It may have discovered your site through links, a sitemap, or direct submission.
