Robots.txt Editor & Validator
Is your site invisible?
What if ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google, or another AI model can't discover your website—not because your content is bad, but because your robots.txt is blocking it? Robots.txt Editor & Inspector helps you find invalid directives, understand which AI and search crawlers are allowed or blocked, generate crawler rules, and test access to specific URLs. Don't find out you're invisible after the AI traffic arrives.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built this because I kept thinking about a simple question:
What if your website is ready for AI discovery, but your robots.txt is quietly telling AI crawlers to stay away?
We already think about Googlebot, SEO, indexing, and search visibility. But AI crawlers are becoming another important path to discovery—and robots.txt is one of the first places where that access can be controlled.
The problem is that a robots.txt file can look perfectly fine to a human while still containing rules that are invalid, conflicting, or blocking the crawlers you actually want to reach your site.
So I built **Robots.txt Editor & Inspector** to make that easier to check.
You can:
🔍 Validate your robots.txt
🤖 Generate rules for AI crawlers
🧪 Test whether a specific bot can access a URL
⚠️ Catch issues before they become a discoverability problem
The goal isn't to blindly allow every AI crawler.
It's to know exactly who can access your site—and who can't.
I'd love to hear how you're currently handling AI crawler access and robots.txt on your websites.
Try it out and let me know what you find! 🚀
