Robots.txt Tester

Enter your domain to fetch its robots.txt, see all crawl rules, and test whether Googlebot is allowed or blocked from any URL path. The single file that controls what Google can see.

URL path to test

What this tool checks

Robots.txt existence

Confirms the file is reachable — a 404 means all crawlers have unrestricted access

User-agent groups

Shows all bot-specific rules (Googlebot, GPTBot, *) and their Allow/Disallow directives

URL path testing

Enter any path (e.g. /blog/) to instantly check if it's blocked for Googlebot

Sitemap directives

Extracts all Sitemap: lines — this is how Google discovers your sitemap

Crawl-delay

Flags crawl-delay directives (Google ignores them, but other bots don't)

Full block detection

Warns if Disallow: / is set for all bots — a common staging mistake that goes live
