What is upday?
About
Upday crawls news websites and sources to aggregate articles for its news app platform, collecting and indexing content to provide personalized news recommendations. You can see how often upday visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors agent analytics.
Expected Behavior
Fetchers visit websites on-demand. They're normally dispatched by apps to present metadata about a link (e.g. the title and thumbnail image) to a user.

Should I Block upday?
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 upday?
You can block upday 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.
