LuentisBot

LuentisBot is the scanner behind Luentis. It visits websites when someone asks us to check them for accessibility errors.

How to recognise it

It always identifies itself with this User-Agent:

LuentisBot/1.0 (+https://luentis.com/bot)

What it does

  • It loads pages in a normal browser and runs automated accessibility tests (axe-core) on them.
  • It visits at most one page per second, and only as many pages as the scan allows.
  • For scans of more than one page, it follows robots.txt and the sitemap.
  • It does not log in, fill in forms, buy anything or follow links to other websites.
  • It runs in Frankfurt, in the EU.

How to let it through

If your website protects itself against bots, the scan can fail. Allow requests with the User-Agent above in your firewall, CDN or bot protection, then start the scan again.

How to keep it out

Add this to your robots.txt to stop scans of more than one page:

User-agent: LuentisBot
Disallow: /
