Should I Block SkroutzBot?

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 SkroutzBot?

You can block SkroutzBot 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 Token Description
SkroutzBot Should match instances of SkroutzBot 
# robots.txt
# This should block SkroutzBot

User-agent: SkroutzBot
Disallow: /

Recommended Solution

Instead of doing this manually, use automatic robots.txt to keep your rules updated with the latest AI scrapers, crawlers, and assistants automatically.
