What is CiteWorthBot?

CiteWorthBot is a specialized diagnostic tool operated by CiteWorth to help website administrators and authorized teams evaluate their site's technical health. Unlike general-purpose search crawlers, it focuses on verifying how a site's content is structured and whether it is accessible to AI-driven analysis tools. It provides transparency by identifying its specific module and scan ID, allowing site owners to correlate traffic with their own internal diagnostic workflows.

Helpful — The bot is designed for transparent, authorized technical auditing and respects standard rate-limiting signals like 429 and Retry-After headers.
