What is ComupScanner?

ComupScanner is the store crawler of Comup (comup.net). Comup customers use it to measure their own store and the stores they added as competitors: public signals such as shipping and campaign information, structured data on product pages and page speed.

It identifies itself on every request with:

ComupScanner/1.0 (+https://comup.net/tarayici)

Which sites does it visit?

Only stores that a Comup customer added as a competitor. It does not roam the web, it is not a search engine and it does not follow links to other sites.

How does it behave?

  • It reads your robots.txt before every scan and follows its rules.
  • It waits at least 2 seconds between requests.
  • It opens only a few pages of a store per week: the home page, one category and a few product pages.
  • It does not store the raw HTML of your pages; it keeps only the measured signals (for example the free shipping threshold or installment options).
  • It never logs in, fills in forms, adds products to a cart or places orders.

How do I block it?

Add these two lines to the robots.txt file at the root of your site. ComupScanner sees them on its next scan and will not open your site:

User-agent: ComupScanner
Disallow: /
