Frequently Asked Questions
What Traffic Patterns Should I Expect From omgili?
omgili tends to make broad, high-volume sweeps across many pages. Timing is unpredictable: traffic may remain heavy throughout a collection pass, then stop entirely.
Does omgili Follow Robots.txt Rules?
omgili is expected to follow robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule is the appropriate first step if you want to block it. Automatic Robots.txt can add and maintain that rule, while Agent Analytics lets you verify whether omgili respects it.
Is omgili Used for AI Model Training?
Yes. omgili collects web content for use in AI training datasets. Blocking it limits future collection but cannot remove content that was collected previously.
Does Blocking omgili Affect AI Search or Citations?
Not directly. Blocking omgili limits collection for AI training rather than controlling a live AI search index or citation system.
Does omgili Access Private Content?
Not through legitimate access. omgili primarily targets public content, but some training-data scrapers also attempt to collect gated or paywalled pages. If content loads without authentication, assume it can be collected.
How Can I Verify a Request From omgili?
Agent Analytics tracks omgili visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "omgili". Look for high page counts, short gaps between requests, and deep traversal through linked content. Because omgili does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
How Is omgili Different From Other Webz.io Agents?
Webz.io operates separate agents for different purposes, so each agent should be evaluated and controlled independently.
