About the Lyntiq AI bot
If you see this user agent in your server logs, someone entered a page of your website in Lyntiq AI to get an audit:
LyntiqAI/0.1 (+https://lyntiq-ai.vibesoftstudio.com/bot)What it does
- It only visits when a person requests an audit. It never crawls on its own.
- Per audit it requests the submitted page, robots.txt, sitemap.xml and up to 8 links from that page to see whether they resolve. At most 10 audits per domain per hour.
- A Pro audit also reads up to 9 more pages of the same website, one request each: first pages listed in its sitemap, then pages linked from the submitted page, then pages linked from those. It has at most 3 requests open at once, skips files and addresses with a query string, waits as long as a Crawl-delay in robots.txt asks (a delay over 5 seconds means it reads only the submitted page), and stops when the site answers 429 or 503. At most 3 such audits per domain per hour.
- It reads robots.txt first and follows it. It sends no cookies and submits no forms.
- The page content is used for that one report. The report and a short excerpt of the page text are stored so the report keeps working at its own link; nothing is harvested or republished anywhere else.
