About ImageExtract traffic
You're probably here because you saw ImageExtract/1.0 in your server logs and wanted to know what it was.
What happened
Someone pasted a URL from your site into ImageExtract, a tool that lists the images on a web page so they can preview and download them. Your page was fetched once, because a person asked for it.
It isn't a crawler. It doesn't walk your site, follow links to other pages, or come back on a schedule. One person, one page, one request — the same shape as someone opening it in a browser.
What the request actually did
The scan reads HTML. That's all it does.
- One request for the page itself
- Up to three linked stylesheets, to find images referenced in CSS
No JavaScript is executed. No links are followed. Nothing is crawled beyond the single page that was requested.
Were your images downloaded?
Not by the scan. Reading a page's HTML doesn't fetch the images it references.
Thumbnails in the results grid load from your server directly to that person's browser — the same requests any visitor's browser would make while viewing your page.
Images pass through ImageExtract only if the person explicitly downloads one, or includes it in a ZIP. Nothing is stored: bytes stream through and are forgotten. No copies are kept, no cache, no database.
