How to identify dbot

dbot uses the user-agent "dbot" and robots.txt compliance unconfirmed.

How to block dbot

Three robots.txt options below. Pick the one that matches your goal. Each snippet lists every known dbot user-agent pattern so the rules apply regardless of which one the bot announces. Compliance with robots.txt is unconfirmed for dbot, 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 dbot, including Googlebot. Always paste the snippet between existing rules (not over them), keep the User-agent line scoped to dbot'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 dbot not to crawl any URL on your site. Use this when you want the bot completely off your content.

User-agent: dbot
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: dbot
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 dbot 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).

User-agent: dbot
Crawl-delay: 10
