What it is

Semrush's Site Audit crawler: it walks a site a customer owns and reports technical SEO problems. Semrush names it as the token to block for that product.

What blocking it costs you

Site Audit reports on your own domain stop working. If a customer is auditing your site with your permission, blocking this breaks their tooling and nothing of yours.
