About the robots.txt Checker

Fetches and reads a site's robots.txt — the file that tells search crawlers where they may and may not go. A single wrong Disallow line can hide an entire site from Google.

Frequently asked questions

Does robots.txt stop indexing?

No — it stops crawling. To keep a page out of the index use a noindex meta tag instead; a blocked page can still be indexed via links.

Should I block CSS/JS?

No — Google needs them to render pages. Blocking them can hurt how your pages are understood.
