    Lightspeed Systems is a company that sells content-control, network management, online learning, and security solutions for K–12 schools.

    I'm making a site for my school, with games and whatnot. I don't want it blocked.

    How does a system like Lightspeeds work? Does it crawl the site? Can I block crawling such thing?

    1. Installing an SSL certificate makes their job more difficult.
    2. Social network plugins are "block me" signs, don't use them.
    3. I don't know how effective this might be, but some people fake put fake keywords on the page to obfuscate the category.

    Although Litespeed crawls the site, they fake their user agent and ignore robots.txt. Also, they have a team of manual reviewers.
