About

Agent Type
Expected Behavior
Fetchers retrieve metadata from web pages to generate link previews in social media platforms, messaging apps, and content aggregators. They're triggered on-demand when users share or post links, fetching information like titles, descriptions, and thumbnail images. Traffic is unpredictable and correlates with how often your content is shared. Viral content may trigger thousands of fetcher requests in a short period. Fetchers typically access only the shared URL rather than crawling your site.

Should I Block Nextcloud?
Probably not. If you block a fetcher, it won't be able to fetch the metadata it needs to display a link preview. Fewer people will click on the link to your website without this.
How Do I Block Nextcloud?
You can block Nextcloud 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.

⚠️ Manual Robots.txt Editing Is Not Scalable
New agents are created every day. We recommend setting up Dark Visitors Automatic Robots.txt if you want to block all agents of this type.
