keywords.dev-bot
Last updated 5 November 2026
keywords.dev-bot reads public web pages when someone asks keywords.dev for recommendations about a site or its competitors. It isn't a search engine and doesn't crawl the web in general.
How it behaves
- It follows robots.txt, including rules for the user agent keywords.dev-bot.
- It reads a small sample of pages per site, a few at a time, and caches them for a day.
- It only reads public pages. It never logs in or fills in forms.
Blocking it
Add this to your robots.txt:
User-agent: keywords.dev-bot Disallow: /
