How Marech protects a Wix site

Wix's Custom Code panel lets you add the monitoring snippet to every page without touching a developer tool — you'll see exactly which AI bots hit your site. Wix is a fully-managed platform, so it owns the whole request path; that means monitoring works great, but scrapers can only be observed, not blocked.

Mode 1

Monitoring — the snippet

One line of JavaScript in your <head>. It reports scraper traffic to your dashboard and overlays JS-running bots. Works on Wix in ~2 minutes.

Mode 2

Blocking — the edge check

Requires a checkpoint in front of your server. Wixowns the whole request path, so this mode isn't available here — monitoring only.

Before you begin

You'll need a couple of things ready. The monitoring step needs only the first two.

A Marech account — start a free trial (no credit card).
Access to edit your Wix site's theme, settings, or code.

Install the monitoring snippet

One line of JavaScript that reports scraper traffic to your dashboard. Works on every Wix plan and takes about ~2 minutes.

Wix → Settings → Custom Code → Add Custom Code (Head, All pages)

Copy your Marech snippet

After signing up, go to your dashboard and click "Get Snippet Code". Copy the one-line script tag.

Open Wix Editor

Go to Settings → Custom Code

In the left menu, click Settings, then scroll down to find Custom Code.

Click 'Add Custom Code'

Click the + Add Custom Code button. A dialog box will appear.

Choose 'Head' and 'All pages'

Set the code location to Head and apply it to All Pages so every page is monitored.

Name it, paste, and Apply

Paste the code you copied in step 1, give it a name like 'Marech', and click Apply. Traffic will start showing up in your dashboard.

Verify monitoring is live

Custom Code runs on your published Wix site, not the Editor preview. Publish, open the live URL in a browser, and confirm your visit appears in the dashboard feed.

Monitoring vs. blocking — the honest version

The snippet above reports traffic and overlays JS-running bots — but non-JS scrapers (curl, python-requests, GPTBot…) download your HTML directly and never run it, so it can't block those. Wix owns the entire request path — server, domain, and TLS — so you can't put an edge proxy or worker in front of it. On Wix, Marech monitors traffic and overlays JS-running bots, but non-JS scrapers can't be blocked. That's a platform limitation, stated honestly. See how the two modes differ in the docs.

Blocking on Wix

Wix owns the entire request path — server, domain, and TLS — so you can't put an edge proxy or worker in front of it. On Wix, Marech monitors traffic and overlays JS-running bots, but non-JS scrapers can't be blocked. That's a platform limitation, stated honestly.

Monitoring only — and why

Wixowns the entire request path — server, domain, and TLS — so there's no way to insert an edge proxy or worker that runs beforeyour page is served. Marech still monitors traffic and overlays JS-running bots here, but non-JS scrapers can't be blocked. If real blocking matters, host your site somewhere you control the edge (a custom domain via Cloudflare, or a self-hosted setup) — see the platform guides.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Is there any way to block scrapers on Wix?

Not truly. You can add AI-crawler directives to your robots.txt, which the well-behaved crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot…) honor — but a determined scraper ignores robots.txt, and Wix doesn't let you run an edge check to enforce anything. For real blocking you'd need to host on a platform where you control the edge.

Then what's the point of monitoring on Wix?

Knowing which AI companies are harvesting your content — and how aggressively — is the first step. Many people use the Wix monitoring data to decide whether it's worth moving to a setup where they can block.

Does the snippet slow down my site?

No. The script is tiny and loads asynchronously, so it never blocks your page from rendering. Server-side blocking adds a single fast check in front of your origin and fails open, so it can't slow down or take down your site.

Will it block real visitors or hurt SEO?

No. Marech targets automated scrapers, not people, and search engines you care about are allowed by default — you decide exactly what gets blocked with policies. See how detection works.
