RaptifyBot

Last updated: July 23, 2026

RaptifyBot is the automated agent used by Raptify, a storefront performance and accessibility monitoring service operated by RoushTech, LLC. This page describes the bot for website operators: what it does, how to recognize its traffic, how it behaves, and how to stop it.

What it does

Raptify measures the performance, accessibility, and general health of a store's own pages. When a merchant installs Raptify and configures a URL to monitor, RaptifyBot loads that page in a real Chrome browser and runs a suite of lab tools (Lighthouse, additional performance timings, accessibility checks, and error and health reporting) that the merchant has selected. We only request pages of stores whose owners have installed Raptify and configured the specific URLs to monitor. This is invited, first-party monitoring, not open-web crawling.

How to identify it

RaptifyBot sends this User-Agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/138.0.7204.168 Safari/537.36 RaptifyBot/1.0 (+https://raptifyapp.com/bot)

Our scan requests are cryptographically signed using Web Bot Auth. The signing identity (Signature-Agent) is https://app.raptifyapp.com, and the public key directory is published at https://app.raptifyapp.com/.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory.

How it behaves

A scan loads a single configured URL a small number of times (up to ten iterations, chosen by the merchant) in a short burst, typically once per day per store. During a scan this is roughly five requests per minute. Merchants can run additional scans on demand while actively developing or changing their store.

Before a scan we fetch the store's robots.txt and honor any Crawl-delay directive for our user-agent as a minimum spacing between requests. We evaluate the target path against the RaptifyBot user-agent group and skip disallowed paths by default. The exception is a path the store owner has explicitly configured for monitoring on their own store, which we treat as first-party authorization (the same owner-consent model as Shopify's crawler access keys), so an owner can benchmark pages such as their own cart that a default robots.txt would otherwise block.

Data handling

Scan results are stored in Raptify's own infrastructure. Only the store's own account can retrieve its scan artifacts, such as screenshots and video of its own scans. We do not sell scan data or share it with third parties.

How to opt out

If you are the store owner and no longer want Raptify to monitor your store, uninstall the Raptify app or remove the configured monitor. RaptifyBot will stop.

You can also block RaptifyBot passively by adding a Disallow rule for its user-agent in your robots.txt:

User-agent: RaptifyBot
Disallow: /

If you believe RaptifyBot is accessing a property without authorization, contact us and we will investigate and stop it.
