About StoreScanBot

StoreScanBot is the scanner behind StoreScan, a free store health checker by Trazor IT. It visits a store only when someone asks for a report on that store.

How it identifies itself

User agent: StoreScanBot/1.0 (+https://tools.trazorit.com/about-bot)

What it reads

• Public pages only: the homepage, one collection or category page, one product page, the cart and the checkout entry page.
• robots.txt and the sitemap, to follow your rules and check them for problems.
• A handful of header-only requests to measure the size of script files.

A normal scan makes roughly 5 to 10 page requests plus a few header-only checks, one after another, with short timeouts.

How it behaves

• It respects robots.txt. Pages you disallow for bots, such as checkout, are skipped.
• It never logs in, adds to cart, places an order or submits a form.
• The same store can be scanned only a few times per hour, so it cannot hammer your server.
• It does not copy your content. It keeps measurements and findings, not your pages.

Block or allow it

To stop it, add this to your robots.txt:

User-agent: StoreScanBot
Disallow: /

If a firewall or bot protection blocks it and you want the report, allow the user agent StoreScanBot in your security settings (Cloudflare, Shopify bot protection or a WordPress security plugin).
