Our bot, and what it does on your website
Each month our bot visits the websites on YeahNah as a first-time visitor would. It says who it is, and it does what your website asks.
YeahNah
- Name:
- YeahNah
- robots.txt token:
YeahNah- Identifies itself as:
- an ordinary Chrome browser, with
YeahNah/0.1.0 (+https://yeahnah.org.nz/our-bot/)added to its user agent - Visits from:
- Catalyst Cloud, in New Zealand, from 202.49.242.74.
- How often:
- Up to three visits a month as a phone and three as a laptop, ten page loads each.
- Obeys:
- robots.txt, every time. If it asks us not to visit the pages we measure, we do not.
- What it does not do.
It never fills in forms, accepts cookie banners, presses play or signs in, and it does not crawl your website. It keeps the weights, the pages it measured, and each file’s address, size and owner. Never your content.
- If our bot cannot visit.
If your robots.txt or your security service keeps our bot out, a person may visit your public website in an ordinary browser, as any visitor can, and record the same figures by the same method. The profile says “Measured manually by one of our team.”
add to your robots.txt:
User-agent: YeahNah
Disallow: /If your security service blocks it, allow it by its name or its address, 202.49.242.74. Or tell us, and we will measure again once it is let in.
