Acquia optimize (Monsido)acquia optimize (monsido)How to block Acquia optimize (Monsido)
Three robots.txt options below. Pick the one that matches your goal. Each snippet lists every known Acquia optimize (Monsido) user-agent pattern so the rules apply regardless of which one the bot announces. Compliance with robots.txt is unconfirmed for Acquia optimize (Monsido), so verify with crawl logs after deploying.
Edit robots.txt with care
A single misplaced line can de-index your entire site. Common mistake: pasting User-agent: * followed by Disallow: / blocks every bot, not just Acquia optimize (Monsido), including Googlebot. Always paste the snippet between existing rules (not over them), keep the User-agent line scoped to Acquia optimize (Monsido)'s patterns, and verify with Google's robots.txt tester before deploying. If you are not sure, ask a developer first.
Option 1: Block all access
Tells Acquia optimize (Monsido) not to crawl any URL on your site. Use this when you want the bot completely off your content.
User-agent: Acquia optimize (Monsido)
User-agent: acquia optimize (monsido)
Disallow: /Option 2: Block specific paths only
Keep public content crawlable but exclude sensitive or non-public sections. Add one Disallow: line per path. Replace the example paths with your own.
User-agent: Acquia optimize (Monsido)
User-agent: acquia optimize (monsido)
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /private/
Disallow: /checkout/Option 3: Slow down with a crawl delay
Crawl-delay is a voluntary directive that asks the bot to wait the given number of seconds between requests. Useful when Acquia optimize (Monsido) is hammering your origin and slowing the site down for real visitors, but you do not want to block it outright. The value is in seconds, so 10 means at most one request every ten seconds. Not all bots honour this directive (Googlebot ignores it; Bingbot, Yandex, and many AI crawlers do respect it).
