robots.txt Checker – Verify Crawl and Index Rules
robots.txt Checker – make sure crawlers can reach your money pages
Use this robots.txt Checker whenever you want to see, in one place, how your robots.txt file controls search engine crawlers. Paste your domain or a page URL, and the tool will fetch robots.txt, list its content line by line and highlight if a global User-agent: * with Disallow: / is blocking your entire site from being crawled and indexed.
This is critical after redesigns, migrations or CMS changes, when a forgotten staging setting can quietly deindex your site. Run the check, fix over-aggressive Disallow rules and keep important landing pages and categories crawlable. When you are ready to scale your technical SEO, upgrade to the SEO Expert plan and combine this check with full on-page audits and continuous monitoring inside SEOcheck.hu.
Keep robots.txt simple and intentional
A short, well-structured robots.txt is easier to maintain and audit. Avoid stacking many overlapping rules and temporary exceptions that you later forget to remove. Always comment special cases, especially during migrations or experiments.
Never block important category or landing pages by mistake
Double-check that your main money pages — categories, filters, landing pages, blog hubs — are not blocked by broad Disallow patterns. Test them regularly after redesigns or template changes to avoid sudden organic traffic drops.
Use robots.txt together with canonicals and meta robots
Robots.txt alone is not enough for clean indexing. Combine it with correct canonical tags, meta robots directives and XML sitemaps to give search engines a consistent signal about what should be crawled, indexed and ranked.
