Saw Owlly in your website's logs?
That's our bot. It checks websites for weak spots on behalf of their owners, and it's built to be polite.
What it does
- Opens pages like a normal visitor would
- Waits between pages, so your site isn't slowed down
- Follows the rules in your robots.txt
- Always says who it is
What it never does
- Log in or fill in forms
- Try to break in or attack your site
- Look for hidden or private files
- Change anything on your site
How to recognise it
It identifies itself with this name on every visit:

Don't want it to visit?
Add these lines to your robots.txt and it will stay away:
User-agent: OwllyBot Disallow: /
Or email us at owlly.tech@proton.me and we'll stop.
