DomainRatingBot

The fetcher behind site-owner verification on domainrating.org. It is not a crawler.

User agent

DomainRatingBot/1.0 (+https://domainrating.org/bot)

What it fetches

  • Homepage checks.When a site owner clicks “Check now” in their dashboard, we fetch https://<domain>/ once to look for their verification meta tag or badge embed.
  • Well-known checks. The same, for /.well-known/oar-verify.txt.
  • Re-verification.Verified proofs are re-checked about every 30 days by a weekly job, one page per domain, so “verified” keeps meaning currently provable.

How it behaves

  • Every fetch is initiated by the domain’s claimant or the bounded re-check.
  • It requests at most one page (plus up to 3 same-site redirects) per check.
  • It reads at most 512 KB per page and times out after 10 seconds.
  • It follows no links and indexes nothing — it is not a crawler.
  • Checks are rate-limited per account and per domain.
