What it is

Ahrefs' site-audit crawler, separate from AhrefsBot. Ahrefs documents that it obeys robots.txt by default, and that a verified site owner can ask for it to be allowed to ignore robots.txt on their own site so the audit can see disallowed sections.

What blocking it costs you

Site owners auditing your domain get an incomplete report. Blocking it saves bandwidth and costs you nothing in search.
