## What is coccocbot?

Cốc Cốc's robots, which discover and download pages to include them in the Cốc Cốc search index.

Crawls pages for a classic search index. Blocking it removes you from that search engine.

Each Cốc Cốc robot follows the User-agent group that matches its name most closely. If robots.txt returns anything other than 200, it assumes full access.

## Should you block coccocbot?

Allow it unless you want out of that search engine. Blocking a major search crawler removes your pages from its results.

## How to block coccocbot in robots.txt

Add a group for its tokens to robots.txt at the root of your site.

A bot follows only the group that names it, so it ignores your `User-agent: *` rules once it has a group of its own. Repeat any paths you also want kept from it there.

```
User-agent: coccocbot
User-agent: coccocbot-web
User-agent: coccocbot-image
User-agent: coccocbot-fast
User-agent: coccocbot-ads
User-agent: coccocbot-shopping
Disallow: /
```

## How to verify a request is really coccocbot

Anyone can send any user agent, so the string alone proves nothing.

Or check by reverse DNS: look up the hostname of the request’s IP, confirm it ends in `coccoc.com`, then look that hostname up again and confirm it points back to the same IP.

## See when coccocbot reads your site

Bots don’t run JavaScript analytics, so a script tag never sees them. invisit records crawler reads on the server instead, through its server SDK or a Cloudflare Worker, and shows which bots read which pages, next to your visitors.
