Should I Block LightspeedSystemsCrawler?

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

Using Robots.txt

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