Equa11yScanner crawler
If you saw Equa11yScanner/1.0 in your server logs, that was us. Equa11y Scanner runs accessibility audits for organizations that have proven they own the domain (a DNS TXT record or a file under /.well-known/). We never crawl a site at a third party’s request.
How we crawl
- We identify ourselves truthfully:
Equa11yScanner/1.0 (+https://scanner.equa11y.ksiscozumleri.com/bot). - We obey
robots.txt, includingCrawl-delay, and stay on the verified host (or its subdomains when the zone was verified by DNS). - Requests to any one site are rate-limited (one page per second by default), and every scan has a page cap and a time budget set by the customer’s plan.
- We render pages in a headless browser to audit them; we keep the offending HTML snippets and the audit results — not whole pages, and not your visitors’ data.
To block us
Add this to your robots.txt:
User-agent: Equa11yScanner Disallow: /
Since only domain owners can start a scan, you can also simply remove the verification record or file.
