Cocolyze crawler (CocolyzeBot)
CocolyzeBot is the crawler associated with Cocolyze, an SEO platform offering rank tracking, site audits, and backlink analysis. It fetches pages to support those tools rather than to power a consumer search engine. The self-identifying token is observable in logs; published crawler specifics are limited, so this entry is partially verified.
What this means
Cocolyze is an SEO platform with rank tracking, technical audits, and backlink features. CocolyzeBot is its crawler, fetching pages to support that analysis. It does not power a consumer search engine.
It typically appears when a Cocolyze project covers your domain. Blocking the token stops Cocolyze's own crawling and has no effect on Google or Bing search visibility.
How it identifies itself
It uses a self-identifying user-agent token in the CocolyzeBot form with a self-identifying URL. Match on the stable token. Published documentation is limited, so confirm by the self-identifying URL and behaviour rather than asserting unverified IP ranges or version strings.
- robots.txt token: CocolyzeBot (self-identifying)
- Purpose: rank tracking and site audits
- Not a consumer search engine
How it appears in analytics and logs
A request carrying the CocolyzeBot token is Cocolyze's crawler fetching pages for SEO analysis, not a search engine indexing you for users. It is third-party tool traffic and should be counted as bot.
Diagnostic use case
Recognise CocolyzeBot as a commissioned SEO-tool crawler in your logs and separate it from search-engine bots when reviewing crawl load.
What WebmasterID can help detect
WebmasterID classifies CocolyzeBot as an SEO crawler distinct from search bots, so its requests are visible separately and excluded from human analytics.
Common mistakes
- Mistaking an SEO-tool crawler for a search-engine indexer.
- Counting CocolyzeBot hits as human traffic.
- Inventing an exact user-agent string or IP range for it.
Privacy and accuracy notes
CocolyzeBot is identified by its user-agent token only. It is a crawler, not a person; WebmasterID records it as a bot event with no visitor profile.

- Ryte crawler (BotLogen)
Ryte is a website-quality and SEO auditing platform, and its crawler has been observed identifying with the BotLogen token. It fetches a customer's pages to run technical and content audits.

- Managing third-party SEO crawler load
Third-party SEO crawlers such as AhrefsBot and SemrushBot can generate significant request volume without contributing to search visibility. You can manage their load by targeting their tokens in robots.txt, using crawl-delay where the crawler supports it, and blocking those that bring no value to you.
