What is AccessStatus?

About

AccessStatus is a monitoring bot that checks HTTP status codes of web pages to determine if URLs are active, redirected, or returning errors for website uptime monitoring. You can see how often AccessStatus visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors agent analytics.

Expected Behavior

Developer helpers generally visit websites on direct behalf of a user who is evaluating some feature or attribute. Visits can be one-off or part of a larger crawl.

Probably not. Developer helpers are normally used to optimize or find problems with your website.

How Do I Block AccessStatus?

⚠️ Manual Robots.txt Edits Are Not Scalable

New agents are created every day. Instead, serve a continuously updating robots.txt that blocks new agents automatically.

Set Up Automatic Robots.txt

You can block AccessStatus or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt. Set up Dark Visitors agent analytics to check whether it's actually following them.

# robots.txt
# This should block AccessStatus
