A robots.txt file is easy to get subtly wrong in ways a text editor won't ever flag, a Disallow line under the wrong user-agent block, a rule that unintentionally blocks an entire section of a site, a Sitemap directive pointing at a URL that doesn't actually resolve, mistakes that only show up once a crawler starts behaving strangely. This tool validates a robots.txt file's actual structure, listing every user-agent block along with the paths it allows or blocks, and flagging a syntax problem before it quietly affects how a site gets crawled.

Useful for reviewing a robots.txt file after an edit to confirm a whole section wasn't accidentally blocked, checking that a Sitemap directive actually points somewhere valid, or auditing an unfamiliar site's crawler rules to see exactly what's off-limits.

Quick answers for Robots TXT Checker

What counts as a blocked path?
Every Disallow rule you've written is parsed and listed in the Preview/Rules panel with a red DISALLOW badge next to the user agent and path it applies to, so you can see at a glance what's off limits.
What kind of validation does it run?
Clicking Validate checks for missing values after User-agent, Allow, or Disallow, flags the deprecated bare wildcard *, and flags any directive it doesn't recognize, listing each problem by line number.
Does it group rules by user agent?
Yes, the parsed rule list tags each Allow or Disallow entry with the User-agent block it belongs to, so rules for Googlebot and rules for * don't get mixed together.
