robots.txt Tester

Frequently asked questions
- Why is my page still indexed if robots.txt blocks it?
- robots.txt controls crawling, not indexing. A blocked URL can still be indexed from links. Use a noindex meta tag or header, and leave the page crawlable so the tag can be seen.
- Are rules case sensitive?
- Paths are case sensitive; user-agent names are not.
- Can I test my live robots.txt?
- Run a full report: it fetches your live robots.txt and shows access for each crawler.
