Robots.txt & AI Crawler Checker

Understand Which Crawlers a Path Allows

WebTrendSEO’s Robots.txt & AI Craler Checker fetches a public website’s robots.txt file and evaluates its rules for the path you specify.

Enter a website URL and a path such as / or /important-page/. The report checks robots.txt HTTP status and size, malformed directives, sitemap declarations, and access rules for 23 crawler tokens across 13 vendors.

Results separate search or indexing crawlers from model-training crawlers where applicable. Robots.txt expresses crawl preferences; it does not guarantee indexing, removal, citations, or compliance by every automated agent.

WHY USE OUR ROBOTS.TXT & AI CRAWLER CHECKER?

Review Crawler Rules Without Reading Them Line by Line

A robots.txt file can contain overlapping user-agent groups, broad wildcards path-specific rules, and crawler names that serve different purposes. Small configuration mistakes can create unintended access restrictions.

This checker organizes the file into a path-specific report and separates search or indexing access from model-training controls. Use it to investigate configuration—not to predict rankings, indexing, or whether a service will cite your content.

Learn how path-specific robots.txt rules affect different crawler groups and what the report cannot guarantee.
Any Question?
It fetches a public robots.txt file and explains which rules apply to a path for search, AI discovery, and model-training crawler tokens. It also reports file status, size, malformed directives, and sitemap declarations.
Enter a website URL and a path to test. The tool retrieves robots.txt, parse its user-agent groups and allow or disallow rules, then applies the most relevant rules to supported crawler tokens.
The interface reports 23 crawler tokns across 13 vendors, including services associated with OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple, Common Crawl, and others. Coverage reflects the crawler list built into the current tool.
Not necessarily. A vendor may use different crawler tokens for search, AI dicovery, and model training. Review each user agent separately; a rule for one token does not automatically apply to every service from that company.
Robots.txt controls requested crawl ccess but does not guarantee deindexing, removal from existing datasets, rankings, AI citations, or crawler compliance. The report tests the path and rules available at the time of the request.
No. It does not change directives, ad sitemap lines, block bots, or update your server. Review the matched rules, edit robots.txt through your CMS or hosting workflow, and retest carefully.
