Attention: As soon as you make changes to your robots.txt, please give the crawler up to 10 minutes to fully stop crawling your website. This is caused by the fact that some pages might be in the processing queue already, so we cannot guarantee the crawler will be able to stop immediately. However, it should fully stop crawling after 10 minutes max.

Bots can interact with websites, applications, and even other bots, often mimicking human behavior.
