About live24h-seo-monitor

live24h.eu operates a small monitoring bot that fetches public URLs on behalf of our customers to check SEO directives such as robots.txt, meta robots, X-Robots-Tag and <link rel="canonical">.

User agent

live24h-seo-monitor/1.0 (+https://live24h.eu/bot)

What we do

  • We fetch URLs only when our customer has explicitly added them to their monitoring.
  • We respect rate limits and back off automatically on HTTP 429 / 403.
  • We obey robots.txt from the configured user-agent perspective.
  • We do not crawl your site — one URL per check plus one /robots.txt fetch per host (cached).
  • We do not evaluate JavaScript.
  • We do not persist cookies.

What we do not do

  • No site scanning or link traversal.
  • No bypassing of CAPTCHAs or anti-bot challenges.
  • No browser fingerprint emulation.
  • No residential proxies.

IP ranges

Outbound requests originate from Azure West Europe data-centre IPs. We publish the current static outbound IPs in our status documentation once finalised. Use the user-agent string above as the primary allowlisting signal.

Allowlisting your WAF

If our bot is being blocked or rate-limited by your WAF, you have several options.
