What is NodePing?

About

NodePing is an uptime monitoring service that performs HTTP checks and other server monitoring tests to verify website availability and alert customers when services go down. You can see how often NodePing visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors agent analytics.

Expected Behavior

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

How Do I Block NodePing?

⚠️ 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 NodePing 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.

User Agent String NodePing 
# robots.txt
# This should block NodePing

User-agent: NodePing
Disallow: /
