Access Control

Should I Block Feedly?

Probably not. If you block a fetcher, it won't be able to fetch the metadata it needs to display a link preview. Fewer people will click on the link to your website without this.

Using Robots.txt

User Agent Token	Description
`Feedly`	Should match instances of Feedly

You can block Feedly or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt.

# robots.txt
# This should block Feedly

User-agent: Feedly
Disallow: /

Instead of doing this manually, you can use the API or Wordpress plugin to keep your robots.txt updated with the latest known AI scrapers, crawlers, and assistants automatically.
