Why Is Seekport Visiting My Website?
Seekport is adding new or changed pages to its search index. It may have discovered your site through links, a sitemap, or direct submission.
Should I Block Seekport?
No, unless you want to remove your pages from that search engine. Seekport supplies its index, so blocking it can eliminate your visibility and organic traffic there. Nearly every website should allow this category. For context, 7% of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for Seekport.
How Do I Block Seekport Using Robots.txt?

Frequently Asked Questions
What Traffic Patterns Should I Expect From Seekport?
Seekport follows an algorithmic schedule shaped by your site's popularity, update cadence, and domain authority. It generally spreads requests across recurring crawl passes, throttles itself to limit server load, and respects crawl rules more reliably than most other bots.
Does Seekport Follow Robots.txt Rules?
Seekport 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 Seekport respects it.
Is Seekport Used for AI Model Training?
Not ordinarily. Seekport is not categorized as an AI training scraper or data provider, so AI model training is not its expected purpose.
Does Blocking Seekport Affect AI Search or Citations?
Blocking Seekport can remove your pages from the search engine it supplies. That may also affect AI products that rely on the same index, but it does not directly control unrelated AI search services.
Does Seekport Access Private Content?
No special access. Seekport can reach only content available to anonymous visitors and does not sign in. Make sure sensitive content is not public by mistake.
How Can I Verify a Request From Seekport?
Agent Analytics tracks Seekport visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "Seekport". Look for recurring passes that revisit changed pages and discover new ones. Because Seekport does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
How Is Seekport Different From Other SISTRIX Agents?
SISTRIX operates separate agents for different purposes, so each agent should be evaluated and controlled independently.
