About this crawler
CavalryAuditBot
What is CavalryAuditBot?
CavalryAuditBot is a website crawler operated by Cavalry Growth Systems. It reviews public pages of small-business websites, mainly home-service contractors, for our own website audits.
What it reads
Only public web pages: the homepage, pages found through the site's own links and sitemap, the robots.txt file, and sitemaps. At most 25 pages per audit, and only on the website's own domain.
How it behaves
- It follows robots.txt and skips any page robots.txt disallows.
- It makes at most 2 requests at a time, at least 1 second apart for the same website, or slower if robots.txt sets a Crawl-delay (up to 10 seconds).
- It retries at most once, and only after a network error or a "server busy" response.
- It stops each audit after 10 minutes.
- It never submits forms, never logs in, never uses cookies, never accesses private pages, and never runs security or vulnerability scans.
It identifies itself with the user agent:
