What is sourcedash?
Sourcedash is a web crawler identified by the user-agent 'sourcedash/1.0'. It is linked to the Source Dashboard project, which appears to operate a search or aggregation service.

Why it crawls your site
The bot crawls the web to populate the index for the Source Dashboard platform, likely to provide users with searchable content or business intelligence data. Because the operator's website is currently returning network errors, it is impossible to verify their specific crawl frequency, data retention policies, or opt-out mechanisms. Site administrators should monitor their server logs for this user-agent to determine if the bot respects crawl-delay directives.
Block or allow sourcedash
Add a Disallow rule for sourcedash 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 sourcedash from crawling your entire site User-agent: sourcedash Disallow: / # Allow sourcedash full access User-agent: sourcedash Allow: /
Ensure your robots.txt allows sourcedash. Verify requests by checking the user-agent string.
