Robots.txt Tester

Fetch and parse any site's robots.txt, see its rules and sitemaps, and test whether a specific URL is allowed for search crawlers. Free, instant.

Frequently asked

Which user-agent does it test?

The global `User-agent: *` group, which is what most crawlers fall back to. Googlebot-specific groups can differ.

Does a Disallow guarantee deindexing?

No. robots.txt blocks crawling, not indexing — a blocked URL can still be indexed if linked. Use a noindex meta tag to keep a page out of the index.
