Block rate is the share of this segment's domains holding a policy record for that agent whose robots.txt disallows it at the site root, shown with its numerator and denominator. Denominators differ between agents because a record only exists once a domain has been measured for it. A domain serving no robots.txt counts as allowing everything, which is what the standard specifies.

Compare with the rest of the grouping edge provider segments

The largest 10 other segments in this grouping, ordered by size. The share beside each is that segment's own answer-engine block rate over its own count. Full table on the segments index.

What this segment does not tell you read this before citing it

Only providers that expose an identifying response header can be detected. Sites behind an edge that stays quiet, or behind an origin that strips those headers, are absent from the count, so this sample is not representative of any provider's customer base.

Measure your own domain

The audit that produced every number on this page runs on any domain in about six seconds: robots.txt resolved for 48 agents, then live requests sent as four of them to see whether the edge agrees with the file.
