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