For Hosting Providers

We provide transparent info about our bot's IPs and activities. We recommend whitelisting for accurate benchmarking instead of blocking.

Don't Lose Customers

Blocking our bot results in 'Timeout' or 'Connection Error' in performance tables. This leads potential customers to believe your service is down or slow.

How to Whitelist?
