How to block Pandalytics
Pandalytics is a web crawler associated with marketing and SEO analytics tooling that fetches public pages to support its reports. This page shows the robots.txt token to target, what the crawler collects, and why a Disallow steers only compliant fetchers.
What Pandalytics is
Pandalytics is a web crawler associated with marketing and SEO analytics tooling that fetches public pages to build its datasets and reports. Operators who do not want their content folded into that analysis can disallow it.
Match on the documented Pandalytics user-agent token rather than a version string. The user agent is self-identifying and points at the operator's site.
- robots.txt token: Pandalytics (self-identifying user agent)
- Purpose: marketing/SEO analytics data collection
- Verify the exact token from your logs
robots.txt rule
To ask Pandalytics to stay off your site:
User-agent: Pandalytics Disallow: /
This targets only that token and leaves search and AI crawlers unaffected. robots.txt is honoured by compliant crawlers and is not enforcement; confirm the crawler backed off via crawl behavior.
How it appears in analytics and logs
Requests carrying the Pandalytics token are analytics-crawler events, not human visits. They indicate a marketing-analytics platform is collecting your public content; classify them as bot traffic.
Diagnostic use case
Keep a marketing-analytics crawler from fetching your pages for third-party reporting and confirm the rule reached the correct token.
What WebmasterID can help detect
WebmasterID classifies the Pandalytics crawler server-side and shows whether it keeps reaching your pages after a robots.txt rule is added.
Common mistakes
- Guessing the token instead of confirming it from the self-identifying user agent.
- Expecting robots.txt to enforce the block rather than request compliance.
- Counting analytics-crawler hits as human sessions.
Privacy and accuracy notes
Blocking Pandalytics uses only the request user-agent token. No visitor identity is involved, and WebmasterID records the crawl as a bot event separate from human analytics.
