Robots.txt Validator

A quick and easy way to analyze the syntax errors of a robots.txt file for your website!

If the syntax is wrong you could end up telling search engine robots NOT to crawl your site, so the web pages WON'T appear in the search results. The importance of analyzing the syntax error of a robots.txt file cannot be stressed enough! This tool can help you to identify errors that may exist within your current /robots.txt file. It also lists the pages that you've specified to be disallowed.
