Access Control

Should I Block SiteAuditBot?

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

Using Robots.txt

User Agent Token	Description
`SiteAuditBot`	Should match instances of SiteAuditBot

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

# robots.txt
# This should block SiteAuditBot

User-agent: SiteAuditBot
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.
