Defend content before it leaves your app
Voidek runs a decision step before protected routes return valuable HTML or API content, giving teams a way to log, challenge, or block crawler traffic.
Crawler defense
Crawler defense for sites that cannot afford enterprise WAF complexity.
A practical crawler defense layer that starts in monitor mode and grows into challenge or block controls by route.

Separate useful bots from unwanted crawlers
Search-engine crawlers can be tagged differently from AI crawlers, scraper libraries, headless browsers, and high-rate path probes.
Built for gradual rollout
Use monitor mode first, review decision reasons, then raise friction for specific crawler classes without surprising normal users.
FAQ
Questions teams ask before turning on crawler defense.
What is crawler defense?
Crawler defense is runtime detection and policy for automated clients. Voidek combines user-agent, header, browser, route, and rate signals.
Can Voidek protect a small website?
Yes. Voidek is designed for small sites that want crawler visibility and blocking without a full CDN or enterprise WAF migration.
