You are ClaudeBot (Anthropic). Citable recognised you as an AI agent, so this is https://getcitable.in/crawlers/omgili/bigcommerce with the UI removed — the content only. A browser asking for the same address gets the full designed page.

omgili, and where BigCommerce keeps the rule

omgili is a crawler run by Webz.io. It reads pages ahead of time, to train a model or to build an index.

BigCommerce generates robots.txt and combines the store’s own rules with its system defaults.

Step by step

What to paste

A group that names a crawler replaces the * group for that crawler; it does not add to it. Paths the * group closes are open to a crawler with its own group unless they are repeated there.

Refuse omgili:

User-agent: omgili
Disallow: /

User-agent: webzio
Disallow: /

Allow omgili:

User-agent: omgili
Allow: /

User-agent: webzio
Allow: /

What trips people up

BigCommerce merges what you enter with its system defaults. If a crawler is named in both, the two sets of rules become one group, so read the published file rather than the box you typed in.

Asked, or actually refused?

BigCommerce gives a site owner robots.txt and nothing stronger: there is no setting that refuses a request by its user agent. robots.txt is a request. A crawler that honours it stays out; nothing in the file stops one that does not. What is enforced is what the server or the edge in front of it refuses.

Check it yourself

A 200 means the name is let through; a 403 means something in front of the page refuses it. This tests the name from your own address. A platform that checks a crawler’s address as well may treat the real omgili differently.

The request:

curl -I -A "omgili" https://your-site.example/

Questions

How do I block omgili on BigCommerce?

In the control panel open Settings → Website → Search Engine Robots, add a “User-agent: omgili” group with “Disallow: /”, and save.

How do I allow omgili on BigCommerce?

A crawler that robots.txt does not name follows the * group, so omgili needs no rule to be allowed. To allow it by name, add the Allow block.

Can BigCommerce actually stop omgili, or only ask it?

BigCommerce gives a site owner robots.txt and nothing stronger: there is no setting that refuses a request by its user agent. robots.txt is a request. A crawler that honours it stays out; nothing in the file stops one that does not. What is enforced is what the server or the edge in front of it refuses.

Does a rule for omgili affect Googlebot or my Google rankings?

No. Googlebot goes by its own name and follows its own rules; a group or a firewall rule for omgili does not apply to it.

About Citable

Citable strips the UI from a website for AI agents and serves them only the content.

When an AI agent — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or any of the 81 that Citable recognises — opens a page, Citable removes the theme, scripts, navigation and layout and serves only the content: the same facts, at the same URL, on the site's own domain. People and Google still get the full designed page.
