Expected Behavior

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) crawlers do not adhere to a fixed visitation schedule for websites. The frequency of visits varies widely based on several factors, including the search keywords it ranks for, and how many other websites link to it.

Should I Block BrightEdge Crawler?

Probably not, especially if you benefit from an SEO service yourself. However, you might choose to block them if you're concerned about things like server resource usage.

Using Robots.txt

User Agent Token Description
BrightEdge Crawler Should match instances of BrightEdge Crawler

You can block BrightEdge Crawler or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt.

# robots.txt
# This should block BrightEdge Crawler

User-agent: BrightEdge Crawler
Disallow: /

Instead of doing this manually, you can generate a robots.txt using the API or WordPress plugin that stays up to date with the agent list automatically. The WordPress plugin can also enforce your robots.txt and block agents who try to ignore the rules.
