RenstrideBot
RenstrideBot is Renstride's reader. It identifies itself with this user agent:
RenstrideBot/1.0 (+https://renstride.com/bot)
What it reads
- A customer's own website, when the customer adds it to Renstride.
- Public pages that AI answers cite, to note which companies they name.
- Once a week, a few pages of a customer's own website (home page, pricing page, a couple of product pages, /llms.txt).
How it behaves
- It reads public pages only. It never logs in, never fills in forms and never posts anything.
- It respects robots.txt. When a site refuses it (for example with HTTP 401, 403 or 429, or a bot check), it backs off and does not retry automatically.
- Small limits: about 10 pages per site visit, pages up to 1.5 MB, 15 seconds per request, one request at a time with a pause.
- It does not keep copies of pages: only short facts such as the page title and which companies it names.
How to block it
Add these two lines to your site's robots.txt:
