User agent

The urlcap bot

When you ask urlcap to fetch a URL on your behalf, it makes the request from our infrastructure with a clearly identified user agent. This page explains what that traffic is.

User-Agent
urlcap/1.0 (+https://urlcap.com/bot)

What it does

urlcap is an automated diagnostic tool. When a user submits a URL, it visits the page to perform non-intrusive analysis — gathering technical information such as HTTP headers, timings, and basic content checks — and reports the results back to that user.

How it behaves

  • One request per action. Each user action triggers a single request to the specified URL.
  • Clearly identified. Requests carry the user agent shown above.
  • Lightweight. A non-aggressive HTTP request — it does not crawl, hammer, or load resources it doesn't need.
  • Standard practices. It follows conventional HTTP behaviour.
