robots.txt Rules for Fedicabot

Respects robots.txt: No

Robots.txt has limited effect on user-initiated bots

Fedicabot is triggered by user actions within Fedica's products. While Fedica states it respects robots.txt, the bot operates differently from autonomous crawlers — it fetches specific URLs on demand rather than systematically spidering your site. Server-log monitoring is the only reliable way to verify what actually happens.
