Acceptable Use Policy

Allowed use

• Scan websites you own or are authorized to assess.
• Review public pages, robots.txt, and sitemaps the crawler is allowed to fetch.
• Use reports to fix technical, SEO, performance, accessibility, and security issues on those sites.

Not allowed

• Scanning sites without authorization, including competitors, random domains, or private apps.
• Trying to bypass logins, paywalls, CAPTCHAs, bot challenges, rate limits, or robots.txt.
• Using WPAQ to find exploits, harvest personal data, send spam, or overload a host.
• Automated bulk scanning that is designed to evade our queue or rate limits.
• Reselling raw scan output as if it were a human audit or legal certification.

How the crawler behaves

WPAQBot identifies itself, respects robots.txt, stays on the submitted host, and uses conservative concurrency. Details are on the WPAQBot page. We may refuse, throttle, or cancel scans that look abusive.

Enforcement

We may block URLs, IP addresses, or accounts that violate this policy. Report abuse to [email protected].
