Plain-English explanation

  • For all crawlers:

    • Blocks crawling of URLs starting with "/admin/".
    • Allows crawling of URLs starting with "/admin/public/".
  • For the "Googlebot" crawler:

    • Allows crawling of everything (an empty Disallow value means no restriction).

Declares 1 sitemap URL(s): https://www.example.com/sitemap.xml

What is this tool?

robots.txt tells well-behaved crawlers which paths they may fetch. This tool validates common syntax issues in pasted content and explains Allow/Disallow directives in plain English. It does not download a live robots.txt or crawl your site.

How to use it

  1. Paste your robots.txt contents.
  2. Review syntax issues and the allow/block summary.
  3. Fix problems in your real file and re-check.
