Why Is FullStory Visiting My Website?
Someone, most likely on your own team, configured FullStory to check your site. Uptime monitors, performance testers, and audit tools visit only the sites or endpoints they are told to watch.
Should I Block FullStory?
Only if no one on your team relies on it. FullStory 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 FullStory.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Traffic Patterns Should I Expect From FullStory?
FullStory'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 FullStory Follow Robots.txt Rules?
No. FullStory 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 FullStory Used for AI Model Training?
Not ordinarily. FullStory is not categorized as an AI training scraper or data provider, so AI model training is not its expected purpose.
Does Blocking FullStory Affect AI Search or Citations?
Not directly. FullStory's expected purpose is not to supply an AI search index or retrieve pages for AI-generated answers.
Does FullStory Access Private Content?
Only when configured with access. A team may grant FullStory credentials to monitor staging sites or private health endpoints. Without those credentials, it sees only public pages.
How Can I Verify a Request From FullStory?
Agent Analytics tracks FullStory visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "FullStory". Look for repeated checks of the same pages or endpoints at regular intervals. Because FullStory does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
