Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WindCodex ScraperBlock – Block AI Scrapers & Bots from WordPress & WooCommerce

ScraperBlock blocks requests that match the built-in default bot list or your custom user-agent signatures. The default list includes 50+ known AI scrapers and content crawlers. Bots not on the list are not blocked unless you add their signature manually.

The default list includes GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), Google-Extended (Google AI training), ByteSpider (ByteDance), CCBot (Common Crawl), Diffbot, PerplexityBot, YouBot, and more. The list is maintained and updated with new bot signatures regularly.

No. The default bot list targets AI training and content scraping crawlers only. Google Search bot (Googlebot), Bing bot (bingbot), and other standard search engine crawlers are not in the default list and are not blocked. Your SEO and search indexing are unaffected.

robots.txt is a voluntary standard – compliant crawlers will respect it, but malicious or poorly configured bots may ignore it. For stronger enforcement, use runtime blocking (PHP layer) or .htaccess blocking (Apache) in addition to robots.txt directives. ScraperBlock lets you enable all three simultaneously.

Runtime blocking intercepts requests at the PHP level – it works on any web server (Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, etc.) but runs after the server has already accepted the connection. Apache .htaccess blocking runs at the web server level before PHP executes, making it more efficient for high-traffic sites on Apache. Both can be enabled together.

No. .htaccess blocking is Apache-specific. For Nginx and LiteSpeed sites, use runtime blocking and robots.txt mode – both work on any server.

noai and noimageai are meta tag directives that signal to AI crawlers that the page's content and images should not be used for AI training. They follow the same convention as the existing noindex and nofollow meta robots tags. Compliance varies by crawler – ScraperBlock outputs these tags on all pages (or per-page if configured) so that compliant crawlers respect your opt-out.

Yes. ScraperBlock adds a meta box to the post and page editor. You can enable or disable protection individually per page, overriding the global settings.

The Logs panel shows the last 50 blocked events with IP address, user-agent, URL, reason, and timestamp. The Dashboard widget shows a basic count of blocks in the last 24 hours. Advanced analytics with full historical data, filtering, and CSV export are available in ScraperBlock Pro.

Yes. Price scrapers typically use identifiable user-agent strings. If a competitor's price bot is in the default block list or you add its user-agent signature manually, ScraperBlock will block it at the PHP layer before any content is served. For WooCommerce stores, this prevents competitors from automatically monitoring and undercutting your prices.
