Should you block TerraCotta?

Blocking it keeps your pages out of this Ceramic AI crawler path.

robots.txt
User-agent: TerraCotta
Disallow: /

Asks TerraCotta not to crawl any page. Add it to the robots.txt file at the root of your site, above any wider rules.

Ignored robots.txt?

TerraCotta’s operator does not confirm how fetched pages are used. Separately, measure where AI answers actually cite your site before drawing conclusions from crawl logs.

    Check the source

    Ceramic AI publishes no IP ranges, reverse DNS or signatures for TerraCotta in the sources here, so it cannot be verified. Treat matches as unconfirmed.

Serve the content in HTML

The cited operator material does not verify JavaScript rendering. Serve useful HTML before client-side JavaScript where possible.
