RankForge is a structural SEO intelligence platform that crawls websites, analyzes internal link architecture, computes authority flow, and generates actionable SEO recommendations. The Service is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis.
3. Authorized Use and Website Crawling
By submitting a URL for analysis, you represent and warrant that:
- You are the owner, authorized administrator, or have explicit written authorization from the owner of the website you submit for analysis.
- You have the legal right to authorize crawling, indexing, and analysis of the submitted website.
- Your use of the Service to analyze the website does not violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party agreement.
You may not use RankForge to crawl, analyze, or gather data from websites you do not own or are not authorized to analyze. Unauthorized crawling of third-party websites using the Service is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate account termination.
RankForge respects robots.txt directives and implements rate limiting to minimize server impact. Our crawler identifies itself as RankForgeBot/1.0.
