Spoofing Risk
User-agent strings can be spoofed. For allow-listing or low-friction rules, pair the published identifier with operator documentation or cryptographic verification when available.

Common Use

Link previews, page rendering, social unfurls, prefetching, or user-triggered content previews.

Detection Notes

Match `Crazy Egg` as a case-insensitive substring in HTTP user-agent logs. Review bot_aliases for alternate names or product labels. Use bot_http_agent for full user-agent examples when the client sends a longer browser-like string. Do not treat a user-agent match alone as proof of identity for allow-listing.

Rules And Blocking Notes

User-agent: Crazy Egg Disallow: /

Identification Note

User-agent strings can be spoofed. Use this record as an identification signal and confirm sensitive allow or block decisions with logs, DNS, IP ranges, request behavior, or operator documentation when available.
