ReportFalconBot

The crawler behind ReportFalcon site audits

If you see ReportFalconBot in your server logs, someone ran a technical SEO audit of your website: a marketing agency that uses ReportFalcon (usually because they look after your site), or a visitor using our free SEO audit. The audit checks things like broken pages and links, missing page titles and slow pages, so they can be fixed.

How it behaves

• It identifies itself as Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; ReportFalconBot/1.0; +https://reportfalcon.com/bot).
• It follows your robots.txt rules and only visits pages on the audited website.
• It spaces out its requests and stops after a set number of pages (usually 500 or fewer; 50 for free audits).
• An audit runs when an agency asks for one or schedules it monthly, or when someone runs a free audit (at most once an hour per website).
• It doesn't fill in forms, log in, or buy anything.

Blocking it

To keep ReportFalconBot out of all or part of your site, add a rule to your robots.txt:

User-agent: ReportFalconBot
Disallow: /
