Robots.txt Analyzer — Crawl Budget Checker for SaaS

Robots.txt is a plain-text file at yourdomain.com/robots.txt that tells crawlers which pages to visit. Misconfigured directives can accidentally block Googlebot from critical pages or waste crawl budget on low-value pages.

No - Googlebot ignores Crawl-delay. Use Google Search Console's crawl rate settings to manage Googlebot frequency. Crawl-delay affects other bots like Bingbot and Yandex.

"Disallow: /" blocks the crawler from accessing the entire site. Under the wildcard (*) block, this prevents all search engines from crawling any page - catastrophic for live production sites.

Generally no - prefer canonical tags or noindex meta tags. Robots.txt only prevents crawling, not indexing (a page can be indexed via backlinks even if it's blocked in robots.txt). Use noindex for pages you want de-indexed but not blocked from crawling.

No. All parsing and analysis happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No content is uploaded or logged.

Create honest, detailed comparison pages that cover pricing, features, integrations, and ideal use cases. Avoid being dismissive of competitors since searchers respect balanced analysis. Include structured tables, user review summaries, and clear CTAs. These pages often convert at two to three times the rate of standard landing pages because searchers are at the decision stage.

Build a hub-and-spoke model around your core product category. The hub page targets your primary keyword while spoke pages cover use cases, integrations, alternatives, and educational content. This creates topical authority that boosts the entire cluster. Supplement with programmatic pages for integrations and templates that scale without manual content production.
