Frequently Asked Questions

Should I Block XY-Archive-Compliance?

Almost never. XY-Archive-Compliance preserves snapshots of your pages so the record survives redesigns, migrations, and dead links. Blocking only stops new captures. Snapshots that already exist stay public until you ask the archive itself to remove them. Almost none of the top websites we track have robots.txt rules for XY-Archive-Compliance right now.

Does XY-Archive-Compliance Respect Robots.txt?

Yes. XY-Archive-Compliance is expected to honor robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule is the right first move. Automatic Robots.txt adds and maintains that rule for you, and Agent Analytics confirms XY-Archive-Compliance actually honors it.

Does XY-Archive-Compliance Access Private Content?

It archives only what any anonymous visitor can see. Anything public at crawl time can stay retrievable in XY-Archive-Compliance's archive long after you take it down.

Why Is XY-Archive-Compliance Visiting My Website?

XY-Archive-Compliance is preserving your pages as part of the historical record. Visits recur on a schedule so the archive can capture how your content changes over time.

How Can I Tell if XY-Archive-Compliance Is Visiting My Website?

Agent Analytics tracks XY-Archive-Compliance visits in real time alongside every other known AI agent, crawler, and scraper. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user agent string contains "XY-Archive-Compliance". Look for periodic full page captures that recur on a schedule. Keep in mind that XY-Archive-Compliance doesn't publish a verification method, so any client can claim its user agent string and a log match is a hint rather than proof.
