FukamoBot

What FukamoBot does

• It loads public pages of a website only when someone enters the address into an audit, or orders an audit or a check of their own site. It does not roam the web on its own.
• It sends ordinary GET requests (sometimes HEAD): it downloads the page, its robots.txt, its sitemap and its llms.txt, and works out SEO, speed and AI readability from the answers.
• For the rendered check the page opens in an isolated browser with no network of its own; every request that browser makes is carried out by the same scanner under the same rules.
• It does not log in, does not fill in or submit forms, and changes nothing on the website.

How it introduces itself

Every request carries a User-Agent header that ends like this:

FukamoBot/1.0 (+https://fukamo.com/bot)

robots.txt

FukamoBot reads robots.txt and looks for the group User-agent: FukamoBot, otherwise the group User-agent: *. A page that robots.txt disallows for FukamoBot is not downloaded: the extended audit, the rendered check and the choice of further pages from links do not use it. The one exception is the quick scan, which loads exactly the address the visitor entered once and only then applies robots.txt to every further page. A paid audit of a website that disallows FukamoBot is refused before payment.

How to block it

Add this to the robots.txt of your website:

User-agent: FukamoBot
Disallow: /

The change applies from the next audit. You can also disallow only part of the site, for example Disallow: /internal/.
