How to use Robots tester

  1. Paste the relevant robots.txt text.
  2. Enter a path and crawler token.
  3. Review the matching rule and confirm the result against the crawler's own documentation before relying on it.

02 / interpret the output

What the result means

The result describes the rule that the local parser considers strongest for the supplied path. A missing match is treated as allowed by the common default model.

Important considerations

  • This is not a live fetch and does not model every crawler-specific implementation detail.
  • Robots.txt cannot protect sensitive data; use authentication or server controls.
  • Redirects, multiple files and hosting mistakes are outside this paste-only check.

Worked example

Test `/private/example/` with `Googlebot` after adding a `Disallow: /private/` rule.
