ChatSniffBot

The robot behind ChatSniff

ChatSniffBot only visits a website when someone asks ChatSniff to check it, or when its owner switched on monitoring.

How it identifies itself

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; ChatSniffBot/1.0; +https://chatsniff.com/bot)

What it does — and doesn't

It reads public pages, robots.txt, sitemap and standard discovery files, checks up to about 30 links and 8–24 pages per sniff, and asks Google Lighthouse for a speed test. It never submits forms, never logs in, and only looks for exposed files on sites whose owner verified ownership.

How to opt out

Add this to your robots.txt — ChatSniffBot will then check only your homepage and stop:

User-agent: ChatSniffBot
Disallow: /

Rate limits

The same website can be sniffed at most once every 2 minutes. Questions: contact@chatsniff.com via the legal notice.
