TidemarkBot, our crawler
TidemarkBot reads public pages for the site owners and agencies who asked LandingConnect Measure to audit their own website.
What it does
When someone adds a website to LandingConnect Measure, TidemarkBot fetches its homepage, robots.txt, sitemap and llms.txt, then reads up to 25 pages to find search, speed and AI-readiness problems. It fetches raw HTML only (no scripts are run), at most one request per second per host, and it never submits forms or logs in.
During the same audit it also requests the homepage once with the user agents of a few AI crawlers (for example GPTBot and ClaudeBot), so the owner can see whether those assistants are allowed in. Those requests are labelled the same way and follow the same limits.
User agent
TidemarkBot/1.0 (+https://measure.landingconnect.com/bot)How to block it
TidemarkBot obeys robots.txt. To keep it out of your whole site, add:
User-agent: TidemarkBot Disallow: /
It also honours a Crawl-delay of up to ten seconds. Changes take effect on the next audit.
