What does a robots.txt tester do?

A robots.txt tester fetches a website's robots.txt file and checks whether a specific URL path is allowed or blocked for crawlers like Googlebot. It helps you confirm your robots.txt rules work as intended before publishing.

How do I check if Google can crawl my page?

Enter your domain in the robots.txt tester and enter your page URL in the test field. The tool checks the Googlebot rules in robots.txt and tells you instantly whether the page is allowed or blocked.

What happens if robots.txt blocks Googlebot?

If robots.txt blocks Googlebot from a page, Google will not crawl or index it. Any existing ranking for that page will eventually be lost. Use the Disallow directive carefully and always test after changes.
