About Bytespider
ByteDance's crawler. We found no official documentation from ByteDance to cite, so we make no claims about what it is used for. The checker scores it with the training crawlers.
How to block or allow it
robots.txt rules are read per crawler: Bytespider follows a group that names it, or else the User-agent: * group. To block it everywhere:
User-agent: Bytespider
Disallow: /The AI crawler robots.txt generator makes these lines for any mix of crawlers. The check reads only your homepage path, robots.txt, llms.txt and a HEAD of llms-full.txt; see exactly what is fetched.
