ChatGPT-User

Real-time fetch when ChatGPT users click your links

Should you block it?

Safe to allow

ChatGPT-User fetches a page in real time when a OpenAI user opens a link to your site inside a conversation. Blocking it breaks that click-through experience (users hit an error), but it does not affect indexing, citations or training.
