SEO Audit Tools

Robots.txt Checker

Fetch and summarise a site robots.txt file.

Run the check

Enter a public target. Checks are a point-in-time sample; private and internal addresses are blocked.

What this tool checks

  • HTTP status
  • Sitemap directives
  • Disallow rules
  • Site-wide blocks

Why it matters

Robots.txt guides crawlers and can accidentally block important pages.

Plain-English examples

  • Check for Disallow: / before launch

Recommended fixes

  • Include sitemap directives
  • Avoid site-wide blocks unless intentional

Understanding the result

Use findings as a starting point, confirm the intended configuration with your provider, and retest after a change. A successful check does not guarantee security, delivery, uptime or search rankings. Results depend on public DNS and what the server exposes at the time of the check.

Need help fixing the result?
