What is MojeekBot?
The web crawler for the Mojeek search engine.
Crawls pages for a classic search index. Blocking it removes you from that search engine.
Mojeek says it requests no more than one page per second from a site and does not support Crawl-delay.
Should you block MojeekBot?
Allow it unless you want out of that search engine. Blocking a major search crawler removes your pages from its results.
How to block MojeekBot in robots.txt
Add a group for its token 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: MojeekBot
Disallow: /How to verify a request is really MojeekBot
Anyone can send any user agent, so the string alone proves nothing.
Mojeek publishes the IP ranges MojeekBot crawls from. A request that claims to be MojeekBot from any other address is not MojeekBot.
Or check by reverse DNS: look up the hostname of the request’s IP, confirm it ends in mojeek.com, then look that hostname up again and confirm it points back to the same IP.
See when MojeekBot 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.
