Robots.txt Tester
Fetches a site's robots.txt, lists the rules and sitemaps, and tests whether a given URL is allowed for Googlebot.
Why it matters
One wrong line in robots.txt can hide a whole site from Google. It happens often after a site launch when the staging rules come along.
What you get
Fetches the file, lists every rule by user-agent, confirms a sitemap is declared, flags a site-wide block, and tests whether a path you enter is allowed for Googlebot.
