NightjarBot

You found us in your logs.

NightjarBot fetches pages on behalf of someone who asked us to watch this site — usually the agency that built it. It reads pages; it never submits forms, never logs in, and never writes anything.

How it identifies itself

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; NightjarBot/1.0; +https://nightjar.corentinmre.fr/bot) site-health monitor

How it behaves

• ·

  Obeys robots.txt. Both * and NightjarBot rules are honoured, including Disallow paths.

• ·

  One request at a time per host, with a pause between each. It will not add measurable load.

• ·

  A few dozen pages a day at most — between ten and forty per visit depending on the customer's plan, once or twice a day.

• ·

  GET and HEAD only. Nothing is posted, no form is filled, no session is created.

• ·

  Public pages only, on ports 80 and 443. Private and internal addresses are refused outright.

• ·

  Skips assets. Images, video, fonts and archives are never downloaded.

How to stop it

Add this to your robots.txt and it will leave within a day:

User-agent: NightjarBot
Disallow: /

If you would rather it stopped immediately, or you believe someone is monitoring a site they have no business monitoring, write to corentin.courier624@passinbox.com with the domain, and we will block it on our side.

What we keep

For each visit: the status codes, the page titles and meta tags, a word count, the links found, and which analytics tags were detected. We do not store page content, and we do not republish anything about your site publicly.
