robots.txt blocks Perplexity-User (live browsing agent)

Perplexity-User is Perplexity's on-demand crawler, triggered when a real user's search pulls your page into an answer in real time, separate from PerplexityBot, the bulk crawler that indexes content in advance. This check found robots.txt disallowing Perplexity-User specifically. Both crawlers matter, but they cover different moments in a prospect's research. Even if PerplexityBot is allowed to crawl your site broadly, blocking Perplexity-User removes you from live, in-the-moment Perplexity answers, often the exact scenario where a prospect is actively comparing options. This gap can sit unnoticed because the bulk crawler being allowed makes the setup look fine at a glance. Your developer needs about 15 minutes. Allow Perplexity-User in robots.txt unless you specifically intend to block Perplexity's live, user-triggered visits. This is worth fixing even if PerplexityBot is already allowed, since the two crawlers serve genuinely different moments in the buying journey.
