Robots.txt Checker

The Robots.txt Checker fetches and analyzes a site's robots.txt file, showing exactly what search engine crawlers are allowed or blocked from accessing.

How to Use

  1. Go to /utilities/robots-checker
  2. Enter a domain or URL and click Check
  3. The tool fetches the robots.txt file and parses its directives

What the Results Show

  • User-agent rules - Which bots have specific rules and what those rules are
  • Allowed paths - URLs and directories that crawlers can access
  • Disallowed paths - URLs and directories that are blocked from crawling
  • Sitemap references - Any sitemap URLs declared in the file
  • Crawl-delay directives - Whether a crawl delay is specified for any bot
  • Syntax issues - Invalid lines, typos, or formatting problems

The tool highlights potential issues like accidentally blocking important pages or missing sitemap declarations.
