Robots.txt Checker

Analyze your robots.txt file to ensure search engines and AI crawlers can properly crawl, render, and index every important page on your site.

What is Robots.txt Checker?

Robots.txt is a file placed in your website’s root directory that tells search engine crawlers which pages or sections they are allowed or disallowed to access. It helps control how search engines interact with your site.

How to Fix It

Ensure important pages are not accidentally blocked. Use proper directives like Allow and Disallow, and verify that your sitemap is correctly referenced. Always test your robots.txt file after making changes.

Best Practices

  • Place your robots.txt file in the root directory (e.g., /robots.txt).
  • Avoid blocking important pages like homepage or key landing pages.
  • Use Disallow carefully to prevent unintended indexing issues.
  • Always include a sitemap reference for better crawling.
  • Test your robots.txt using tools like Google Search Console.
  • Keep your file simple and clean — avoid unnecessary complexity.
