Frequently Asked Questions
What Traffic Patterns Should I Expect From reward-gateway?
reward-gateway usually makes a single request within seconds of a URL being shared, without crawling further. Traffic rises and falls with sharing activity, so a widely circulated link can produce a sharp burst of fetches.
Does reward-gateway Follow Robots.txt Rules?
No. reward-gateway 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 reward-gateway Used for AI Model Training?
Not ordinarily. reward-gateway is not categorized as an AI training scraper or data provider, so AI model training is not its expected purpose.
Does Blocking reward-gateway Affect AI Search or Citations?
Not directly. reward-gateway's expected purpose is not to supply an AI search index or retrieve pages for AI-generated answers.
Does reward-gateway Access Private Content?
No. reward-gateway 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 Verify a Request From reward-gateway?
Agent Analytics tracks reward-gateway visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "reward-gateway". Look for a page and its preview assets being requested without follow-up navigation. Because reward-gateway does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
