Identification
Why it crawls your site
Pulsetic crawls websites to verify that they are responding with a successful HTTP status code and to measure the latency of the server response. This data is used to populate the user's dashboard with historical uptime statistics and to trigger alerts when a site goes offline. Site owners can verify the bot by checking that the requests originate from Pulsetic's documented IP ranges and by observing the 'pulsetic' user-agent string in their server logs.
IP ranges
Requests from pulsetic originate from these published ranges. For strict verification, match the source IP against this list in addition to checking the user-agent and reverse-DNS.
Block or allow pulsetic
Add a Disallow rule for pulsetic in your robots.txt file. You can also block at the server level using your web server configuration or CDN firewall rules to filter requests matching the user-agent string.
# Block pulsetic from crawling your entire site User-agent: pulsetic Disallow: / # Allow pulsetic full access User-agent: pulsetic Allow: /
Ensure your robots.txt allows pulsetic. Verify requests by checking the user-agent string.
