How to Test Your Robots.txt for Errors
Verify your robots.txt rules work correctly before they block your site.
A single typo in robots.txt can block your entire site from Google. Testing is essential.
Why Test
Google interprets robots.txt strictly. "Disallow: /page" blocks /page but "Disallow: /" blocks everything.
What to Test
Test important URLs to verify they're allowed. Test URLs you want blocked. Check for accidental blocks.
Common Issues
Blocking CSS/JS files, blocking the entire site, overly broad Disallow patterns.
