RETRIEVAL & PRIVACYPublic inputs, narrow handling.
RETRIEVALReturned HTML, not a browser performance.
The service follows at most three public redirects, reads up to 1.5 MB of returned HTML, and checks whether root /robots.txt and /llms.txt URLs respond. It does not log into sites or execute their client-side interface.
DATA HANDLINGNo scan database.
Scan URLs and results are not intentionally stored in ModularDot's lead database. Short-lived Cloudflare infrastructure and security logs may contain request metadata. Do not submit confidential URLs or information.
Scanner limitations
Pattern checks can miss equivalent language or recognize weak content. A pass means a signal was detected—not that it is accurate, persuasive, legally sufficient, or likely to earn a citation. The scanner does not measure model answers, rankings, traffic, leads, conversion, or revenue. Read the privacy statement and complete methodology.
INDEPENDENT EDITORIAL REVIEWA third-party assessment you can inspect.
CitedIndex publishes a dated, independently researched listing of the scanner, including its limitations and source notes. ModularDot does not control the assessment.
