See Who Can Crawl Your Website
Quickly understand whether a supported crawler is Allowed, Blocked, or affected by a specific robots.txt rule.
Check the rules in your robots.txt file and understand which crawler directives may affect access to your website. Robots.txt uses User-agent, Allow, and Disallow rules to communicate crawler access preferences.

Common Questions
An AI Bot Crawler Checker analyzes your website’s crawler configuration, particularly robots.txt, to help identify whether supported AI and search crawlers are allowed or blocked.
The checker can support crawlers such as OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and relevant Google crawler identifiers. The exact list should be maintained as crawler documentation changes.
For crawlers that respect the Robots Exclusion Protocol, robots.txt communicates which areas of a website they may or may not crawl.
Check whether your robots.txt configuration allows OAI-SearchBot to access the relevant pages. OpenAI recommends not blocking OAI-SearchBot when publishers want their content available for ChatGPT search discovery.
No. Allowing a crawler only addresses one part of technical accessibility. Search or AI systems use additional signals when deciding what content to surface.
Yes. A firewall, CDN, WAF, bot-protection system, CAPTCHA, authentication, or rate-limiting rule can prevent a crawler from successfully accessing your website.
Not necessarily. Your decision should depend on your content strategy, security requirements, licensing considerations, and how you want your content to be used.
The tool should clearly state what it checks. If it analyzes robots.txt, the result represents robots.txt-based crawler access, not a guarantee that every page can actually be fetched.
