Robots.txt Checker
Check if your website is accessible to search engines and AI crawlers like Googlebot, ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Analyze your robots.txt, sitemap, and llms.txt.
Why Crawler Accessibility Matters
Your robots.txt file controls which bots can access your site. With AI-powered search becoming more prevalent, ensuring your content is accessible to both traditional search engines and AI crawlers is crucial. Here's what we check:
robots.txt Analysis
We check if your robots.txt file blocks common AI crawlers like GPTBot (OpenAI), Claude-Web (Anthropic), Google-Extended, and others. Blocking these bots means AI services can't use your content in their responses.
Sitemap Detection
A properly configured sitemap.xml helps all crawlers—including AI bots—discover and index your content efficiently. We verify its presence and if it's referenced in robots.txt.
llms.txt Support
The emerging llms.txt standard allows you to provide specific instructions to AI systems about how to handle your content. We check if your site has adopted this new standard.
Common AI Bots We Check:
- GPTBot - OpenAI/ChatGPT
- Claude-Web - Anthropic/Claude
- Google-Extended - Google AI
- PerplexityBot - Perplexity AI
- CCBot - Common Crawl
- Bytespider - ByteDance/TikTok
