Why validate your robots.txt?

Your robots.txt file controls how search and AI crawlers reach your site. Misconfigurations can block important pages or hide the wrong ones from discovery.

  1. Crawl control

    Guide bots to the pages that matter. A clear robots.txt helps crawlers spend budget where visibility counts.

  2. Risky blocks, not guesses

    Catch a wildcard Disallow: / and named AI bot blocks before they quietly hide the wrong paths from compliant crawlers.

  3. Sitemap discovery

    Confirm Sitemap: references in robots.txt so engines and tools can find your URL inventory faster.

  4. Instant validation

    Professional-grade robots.txt checks at zero cost — real-time results in seconds, no sign-up on GetCited.me.

How it works

Four short steps from URL to a readable crawl summary — the same signals GetCited.me uses before a full GEO audit.

  1. Enter your domain

    Type your website URL and we locate robots.txt at the site root automatically.

  2. Automated fetch & analysis

    We safely fetch and parse the file in real time — plain-text robots only, not HTML catch-alls.

  3. Sitemap & rule discovery

    We detect Sitemap: references, wildcard crawl rules, and named AI / search bot directives.

  4. Review validation results

    See crawl control, sitemap presence, AI crawler status, raw content, and any issues to fix.
