Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block RankMath Link Checker?
Only if you want your own pages and outbound links out of those tools. RankMath Link Checker collects the ranking and backlink data behind SEO tools, likely including ones you or your agency use, and it does not change how search engines rank you. Blocking it will not hide your backlink profile either, because backlinks are discovered on the sites that link to you. Almost none of the top websites we track have robots.txt rules for RankMath Link Checker right now.
Does RankMath Link Checker Follow Robots.txt Rules?
Yes. RankMath Link Checker is expected to follow robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule is the right first move. Automatic Robots.txt adds and maintains that rule for you, and Agent Analytics confirms RankMath Link Checker actually follows it.
Does RankMath Link Checker Access Private Content?
Login walls stop it. RankMath Link Checker analyzes public pages for rankings, links, and site structure.

Your domain shows up in the ranking, backlink, and competitor data RankMath Link Checker's operator sells. If anyone tracks your site or your competitors in an SEO tool, RankMath Link Checker visits you.
How Can I Tell if RankMath Link Checker Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks RankMath Link Checker visits in real time alongside every other known AI agent, crawler, and scraper.
