What is Yeti?

About

Yeti is Naver's web crawler that systematically discovers and indexes web content for South Korea's largest search engine. It crawls websites to build Naver's search index and support various platform services. You can see how often Yeti visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors Agent Analytics.

Agent Type

Search Engine Crawler
Indexes web content for search engine results

Expected Behavior

Search engine crawlers systematically index websites to power search engines by discovering, analyzing, and cataloging web content. They visit sites on dynamic schedules determined by algorithmic priorities rather than fixed intervals. Crawl frequency depends on factors like site popularity, content freshness, update frequency, and domain authority. These crawlers typically respect robots.txt rules and throttle their requests to avoid overwhelming servers.

Should I Block Yeti?

Probably not. Search engine crawlers power search engines, which are a useful way for users to discover your website. In fact, blocking search engine crawlers could severely reduce your traffic.

How Do I Block Yeti?

You can block Yeti 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.

How Do I Block All Search Engine Crawlers?
Serve a continuously updating robots.txt that blocks new search engine crawlers automatically.
User Agent String Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; Yeti/1.1; +https://naver.me/spd) Chrome/138.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

⚠️ 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.
