Webzio-Extended is a robots.txt control token, not a separate crawler: you will never see it in your server logs. It changes how content fetched by Webz.io's regular crawlers may be used.

How to block Webzio-Extended in robots.txt

Add this to the robots.txt file at the root of your site:

Block Webzio-Extended

User-agent: Webzio-Extended
Disallow: /

Explicitly allow Webzio-Extended

User-agent: Webzio-Extended
Allow: /

What blocking changes: Signals that content collected by Webz.io must not be used for AI or ML training. Regular Webzio collection is unaffected unless you block Webzio too.
