Block ElevenlabsCrawler in robots.txt
User-agent: ElevenlabsCrawler
Disallow: /robots.txt is a request, not a lock: well-behaved crawlers follow it. To block by user agent at the server, match ElevenlabsCrawler in the User-Agent header.
Or charge ElevenlabsCrawler per page
Instead of blocking it, answer ElevenlabsCrawler with HTTP 402 Payment Required and a price. Crawlers and agents that support x402 pay a fraction of a cent in USDC straight to your wallet and get the page; people and search engines browse free. Set it up free on pay-per-crawl in about five minutes.
