Will RefreshenBot slow down my site?

No. We rate-limit at one request per second per domain and honour Crawl-delay in your robots.txt. A 50-post scan typically finishes in about two minutes.

Do I need to install anything?

No. We work from your public sitemap. No JavaScript snippet, no DNS change, no CMS plugin.

Add ‘User-agent: RefreshenBot’ + ‘Disallow: /’ to your robots.txt. We honour it on the next scan and surface a warning to the account that requested it. See /bot for full details.

Do you scan unpublished content?

No. We only fetch URLs in the sitemap you provide and only follow paths your robots.txt permits. Drafts behind auth aren’t reachable to us.

Will you auto-edit my content?

Never. Refreshen reports, it doesn’t rewrite. You decide which issues to act on.

Can I monitor more than one blog?

Yes. Pricing is per blog, so add as many as you like to one account. Each blog gets its own tier based on its page count, and you can mix tiers freely. One login, separate scans and reports for each.
