Frequently Asked Questions
What Traffic Patterns Should I Expect From Superfeedr bot?
Superfeedr bot 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 Superfeedr bot Follow Robots.txt Rules?
No. Superfeedr bot 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 Superfeedr bot Used for AI Model Training?
Not ordinarily. Superfeedr bot is not categorized as an AI training scraper or data provider, so AI model training is not its expected purpose.
Does Blocking Superfeedr bot Affect AI Search or Citations?
Not directly. Superfeedr bot's expected purpose is not to supply an AI search index or retrieve pages for AI-generated answers.
Does Superfeedr bot Access Private Content?
No. Superfeedr bot 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 Superfeedr bot?
Agent Analytics tracks Superfeedr bot visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "Superfeedr bot". Look for a page and its preview assets being requested without follow-up navigation. Because Superfeedr bot does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
