Crawler Information

What is the purpose of Ginger Crawler?

Ginger Crawler is used by Ginger Software to collect information about English language usage across the internet.  This information is analyzed and integrated into our software to provide language assistance for people suffering from Dyslexia.

How does Ginger Crawler work and how does it affect my website?

Ginger Crawler is based on commonly used crawling techniques and respects robots.txt and crawling politeness conventions. Should you observe Ginger Crawler does not behave properly when visiting your site, this means there is a problem in our software that we need to fix.

How often does Ginger Crawler visit a given website?

Our crawler is designed to crawl the internet once every few years. If the crawler makes frequent visits to your site, this is probably due to a bug fix in the crawler code that required a re-crawl. If the crawler visits your sites repeatedly, this may be due to a problem in our software.
