About RevNextBot

What it is

RevNext is a platform coaches use to build their own landing pages. One of its features lets a customer paste a web address and say "build me something laid out like this". RevNextBot is what goes and looks at that page.

It only ever runs because a person asked it to, on a page that person chose. There is no crawl, no queue, no index, and no schedule. Nobody at RevNext decides which sites it visits.

What it reads — and what it does not

• Layout only. It counts things: how many sections a page has, how many columns, whether the background is light or dark, roughly where the images sit. Those counts are what reach our AI.
• Your words are never reused.The page's text is not sent to the model that writes the customer's page. A separate check runs over the generated output and rewrites anything that matches your page too closely.
• Your images are never copied.Nothing from a page read this way is downloaded into our storage or placed on a customer's page.
• It does not log in. No cookies, no credentials, no auth headers, no form submissions. It only sees what a logged-out visitor sees.
• It does not execute anything. Pages are read as text; screenshots are taken in a sandboxed third-party browser that carries none of our credentials.

How often

One page and at most one screenshot per request, over HTTP or HTTPS on the standard ports, with a ten-second timeout and at most three redirects followed. Each customer account is capped at five of these requests an hour, and each individual person at three. In practice a site sees a single request, once, and then nothing.

How to block it

We read /robots.txt before fetching a page, and we honour it. To turn RevNextBot away from your whole site, add this to your robots.txt:

User-agent: RevNextBot
Disallow: /

A rule under User-agent: * works too — we fall back to it when no rule names us. Our token is revnextbot, matched case-insensitively. When a rule tells us to stay away, the customer who pasted the link is told the site asked not to be read by bots, and nothing is fetched.

Blocking the user-agent string at your edge or firewall works as well, and we will not route around it.

Getting in touch

If RevNextBot has done something you did not expect, or you want it kept off your site without editing robots.txt, email hello@revnext.io with the domain and we will add it to a permanent block list. Please include a log line if you have one — it tells us which feature made the request.
