Scanner policy

The scanner loads public pages the way a browser does, using a real Chromium browser with the user agent below. It starts at the address entered, follows links on the same hostname, and stops at 5 pages for a free scan or up to 100 pages for a monitored site.

• At most one page load per second per website.
• It reads robots.txt first and does not load pages that robots.txt disallows for SuitcastBot or for all crawlers. A Crawl-delay directive of up to 5 seconds is honored.
• It never submits forms, never logs in, never clicks Accept in a consent banner, and never loads pages behind an account, a cart or a checkout.
• If a site's security service challenges or blocks it, the scan stops and reports that the site could not be checked, never that it is clean.
• It scans only public hostnames, never private networks.

Add these lines to your robots.txt and the scanner will skip your site on its next visit:

User-agent: SuitcastBot
Disallow: /

Scans are started by people who enter a website address on suitcast.com, usually the site's owner or the agency that manages it. Suitcast does not crawl the web on its own. To ask about a scan of your site, email support@suitcast.com with the address.
