Free Robots.txt Checker
Test which robots.txt rule applies to a URL and crawler.
See which rule actually matches
Paste the root robots.txt for your target URL. Test a crawler token and see the matching rule and line number.
This checks pasted rules only. It does not test server permissions, firewalls or indexing, and it does not fetch robots.txt.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which rules does this checker use?
It uses the most specific matching user-agent group and URL rule. Matching Allow rules win ties. Wildcards and end-of-path markers are supported.
Does Disallow remove a page from Google?
Not necessarily. Robots.txt controls crawling, not removal from the index.
