WPAQBot
This is the crawler that runs when someone starts a WPAQ probe on WPAQ.com.
Last updated 2 September 2026
User-Agent
WPAQ identifies itself as WPAQBot/1.0 (+https://wpaq.com/bot) when fetching publicly accessible pages.
What it does
The crawler respects robots.txt, uses conservative concurrency, stays on the submitted host, and does not try to bypass authentication, CAPTCHAs, or access controls. It may capture a clean homepage screenshot and, separately, annotated screenshots of visible issues. That evidence is the Probe step of a WPAQ scan.
Site operators
To allow WPAQBot, you do not need a special rule beyond a normal Allow for your public pages. To discourage scans, Disallow the paths you do not want crawled in robots.txt. For abuse reports, see the contact page.
