Site24x7Site24x7 FAQ
What is Site24x7?
Site24x7 is a website monitoring service that checks uptime, performance, and availability from over 130 monitoring locations worldwide, at intervals its users configure from as short as 10 to 30 seconds up to once a day.
How do I block Site24x7?
Add a robots.txt group with "User-agent: Site24x7" followed by "Disallow: /". Site24x7's documentation does not describe robots.txt handling for its monitors; since it publishes the IP addresses of all its monitoring locations, blocking those published IPs at the firewall is the more reliable option.
About Operational Bots
Monitoring, security scanning, link previews, webhooks, and feed fetchers: the utility traffic that keeps integrations and shared links working.
Most of this traffic is service-critical or user-triggered. Webhooks and previews don't follow robots.txt, and blocking them tends to break things you rely on.
