Crawler Instruction & robots.txt Scan
Validate your robots.txt file and meta robots tags to ensure search engines are crawling your site correctly.
How our Robots.txt Validator works
Robots.txt is the "do not enter" sign for search engines. This tool verifies your instructions to ensure you aren't accidentally blocking important content.
Why this check matters
A single misconfigured "Disallow" rule in your robots.txt can prevent your entire website from appearing in Google search results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should robots.txt be located?
It must always be at the root of your domain (e.g., example.com/robots.txt).
Does robots.txt protect private data?
No, it only asks crawlers not to look. It is not a security mechanism.
Interpreting Results
Check the "Final Verdict" to ensure your page is "Indexable". If the tool reports a "noindex" tag, search engines will not show your page in search results.
Limitations
We validate the syntax and current page status. We cannot predict how specific proprietary crawlers might interpret complex rules.
