Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block Nooshub?
Usually not. Blocking Nooshub may leave shared links without a title or image, making them less inviting to click. If it begins fetching at unexpected volume, try rate limiting before blocking it outright. For context, 7% of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for Nooshub.
Does Nooshub Follow Robots.txt Rules?
No. Nooshub 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 Nooshub Access Private Content?
No. Nooshub has no credentials and should access only the public URL and assets needed for a preview. It does not continue through the rest of your site.
How Can I Tell if Nooshub Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks Nooshub visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "Nooshub". Look for a page and its preview assets being requested without follow-up navigation. Because Nooshub does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
Why Is Nooshub Visiting My Website?
Someone shared a link to your page. Nooshub fetched it to build a preview card, and each new share may trigger another request. A spike often means your content is circulating more widely.
