Crawl request portal

Pandry

I published a new website and (obviously not being able to find it on Kagi) I was wondering if it is possible to have a crawling request portal.
It would be awesome to submit a website for crawling.

And to add, is there a way to know if your website has been crawled by Kagi or if it shows up through third-party indexes?

carl way to know if your website has been crawled by Kagi

Well, usually the crawlers have a custom user agent referring the engine name, so…
Looking at the logs is a way to know if you have been crawled by Kagi I guess

Another approach could be (but this is just my speculation) to look at the website metadata (clicking on the shield next to a result):
I believe that when Kagi’s crawler is the source of the result, it is possible to see the trackers, the website speed, the Whois results (who owns the website), etc…
If I’m wrong hopefully someone will correct me!

carl usually a query like "site:yoursite.com" will be a good indicater if the site is indexed by Kagi.

The metadata is also a good indicator if it is being used for advanced ranking signals (such as numebr of ads/trackers)
