RevenueCueBot
The crawler behind RevenueCue’s store scan. If you saw it in your logs, this page says what it read, why it came, and how to keep it out.
Every request carries this User-Agent:
RevenueCueBot/1.0 (+https://revenuecue.co/bot)
It never disguises itself as a browser and never tries to get past a firewall or a challenge.
Why it visited your store
It runs when someone asks for a scan of your store on revenuecue.co, when a store connected to a RevenueCue account is due its scheduled scan, or when we prepare a free report to offer the store’s owner.
What it reads
Only what your store already publishes to the open web:
robots.txt, first, before anything else.- The product listing, up to 250 products: Shopify’s
/products.jsonor WooCommerce’s/wp-json/wc/store/v1/products. - The sitemap, to find product pages.
- A sample of up to 40 product pages. A store with no public listing has its product pages read from the sitemap instead, up to 250.
- Up to 40 product links, usually with a HEAD request, to see whether they still answer.
It doesn’t log in, submit forms, run scripts, or touch a cart, a checkout or an admin page, and it reads nothing about your customers.
How gently it reads
- At most four requests at a time, with a pause after each.
- One at a time from the moment a store answers 429.
- A scan stops after 90 seconds, finished or not.
How to block it
The robots token is RevenueCueBot. Add this to your robots.txt:
User-agent: RevenueCueBot Disallow: /
The next scan stops at robots.txt, reads nothing else, and says your robots.txt keeps it out. A narrower Disallow path keeps it off that path only. A group naming RevenueCueBot wins over a User-agent: * group; with no such group, it follows the * rules.
To stop it at the firewall, match the same name. In Cloudflare, under Security → WAF → Custom rules, use this expression with the action Block:
(http.user_agent contains "RevenueCueBot")
