About this tool

The AISearch Global Robots.txt Checker fetches /robots.txt from a site's root and reports whether it exists, how many directive lines apply to all crawlers under User-agent: *, and whether a blanket Disallow: / rule is quietly blocking every crawler — including the ones that power AI-generated answers.

For page-level blocking as well, use the AI Crawler Checker, which also checks meta robots directives.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Robots.txt Checker look for?

It fetches robots.txt from your site's root, confirms it exists, counts the directive lines that apply under User-agent: *, and flags whether a Disallow: / rule is blocking every crawler from the entire site.

What if I don't have a robots.txt file?

No robots.txt isn't automatically a problem — crawlers will still access your site by default — but publishing one gives you explicit control and is considered good practice for both SEO and AEO.

Is a robots.txt checker the same as an AI crawler checker?

This tool checks robots.txt specifically. The AISearch Global AI Crawler Checker goes a step further, also checking page-level meta robots directives that can separately block AI systems.
