How often is Rogerbot impersonated?
We have not measured requests claiming to be Rogerbot yet, so we show no share.
This directory measures requests between 3 July 2026 and 28 September 2026. The fake crawler report covers its own, earlier window (late June to 21 September 2026), so its figures differ from the ones here. Read it for the method.

Should you block Rogerbot?
- Allow it if
- you or your agency track this site in a Moz Pro Campaign.
- Block it if
- nobody who works on this site uses Moz Pro.
- What blocking changes
- Moz says Rogerbot cannot continue a crawl when it is blocked, so a Moz Pro site audit of your site stops.
To block it, add this group to your robots.txt. Moz says Rogerbot is built to obey robots.txt. It supports Crawl-delay, and Moz advises a delay of no more than 30 seconds.
User-agent: rogerbot
Disallow: /robots.txt only asks. It does nothing against a client that ignores it or only pretends to be Rogerbot. Stopping those takes verification at your edge.
