AI Crawler Access Checker

Check whether a public robots.txt allows major AI search and training crawlers. Get a crawler-by-crawler answer without reading directives by hand.

Check a public website

Enter a domain. The checker fetches its public robots.txt and tests root-page access for major AI crawlers.

How to use the result

A blocked result is not automatically wrong. Decide whether you want discovery, model training, both, or neither, then publish deliberate user-agent rules. Also check page-level noindex directives and CDN bot controls.

FAQ

What does an AI crawler checker test?

It reads a site's public robots.txt and evaluates the rules that apply to named AI user agents. This page tests access to the site root.

Does allowed mean an AI answer engine will cite my site?

No. Crawl access is only one prerequisite. Clear answers, original evidence, internal links, indexability and authority still matter.

What is the difference between GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot?

They are separate user agents with different stated purposes. Site owners should review current crawler documentation and set explicit rules for each policy goal.
