Sitepager Bot and User Agent

Sitepager is a website testing tool for marketing and web teams. It checks visual changes, broken links, SEO, performance, and accessibility in one run.

When Sitepager tests a website, it opens its pages and loads the files needed to test them. By default, these requests include the Sitepager user agent below, so you can recognize them in your logs and allow them through your website security.


By default, Sitepager uses the user agent of the browser running the test and appends its Sitepager identity:

<browser user agent> SitepagerBot/1.0 (<workspace-id>; sitepager)

The browser portion varies depending on the browser and device used for the test. <workspace-id> is the Sitepager workspace that made the request.

SitepagerBot is the part of the user agent that identifies Sitepager. When setting up a rule on your site, match:

SitepagerBot

Match this part rather than the complete user agent, because the browser and workspace portions can vary.

You do not need to configure a custom user agent for Sitepager to identify itself.


If you configure a custom bot identifier, Sitepager keeps the same identity format and replaces the final sitepager label:

<browser user agent> SitepagerBot/1.0 (<workspace-id>; <bot-identifier>)

SitepagerBot continues to match these requests.

If you provide a complete custom user agent instead, Sitepager sends that value exactly as supplied and does not add SitepagerBot. In that case, set up your rule to match the value you supplied.

See Custom User Agent for configuration options.


Sitepager publishes its Web Bot Auth public key directory at:

https://api-home.sitepager.io/.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory

Web Bot Auth allows websites to verify that a signed request really came from Sitepager. The directory above publishes the keys a website needs to check that.


If your site is blocking Sitepager, allow requests whose user agent contains:

SitepagerBot

See Allow Sitepager Through Your Firewall for steps for Cloudflare, Webflow, Framer, Vercel, Netlify, and custom servers.
