  • Path allow/block result
  • Longest matching prefix handling
  • Local robots.txt input

How to use

  1. 1Paste the relevant robots.txt.
  2. 2Enter a crawler name and URL path.
  3. 3Confirm critical resources and indexable pages are allowed.

Examples

Use the Robots.txt Tester
Input: Disallow /admin/ and test /admin/page
Output: Blocked

Allow public assets required to render indexable pages.

Frequently asked questions

Does blocking prevent indexing?
Robots rules control crawling, not guaranteed indexing. Use noindex where a crawler can access it.
Does it support every wildcard rule?
No. Use the target search engine's official tester for edge cases.
Is my data uploaded?
No. Analysis and generation happen entirely in your browser.
