AI Crawler Checker

The AI Crawler Checker tests whether AI bots can actually reach your website. It checks your robots.txt rule for 14 AI crawlers, from the search bots that fetch pages for ChatGPT search, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Google AI Overviews to training-only crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended and CCBot. Then it requests your page with each bot's real user agent and compares the response with a normal browser visit. That live test catches the most common hidden problem: a firewall or CDN setting (such as Cloudflare's AI bot blocking) that returns 403 to AI bots while robots.txt says they're welcome. It also checks your llms.txt and sitemap, then samples 10 pages from the sitemap to confirm they load, are indexable, aren't blocked for AI search bots and have their text in the HTML, since most AI crawlers don't run JavaScript. You get an AI access score and step-by-step fixes.

Site owners check why their brand never appears in ChatGPT or Perplexity answers and find a firewall rule blocking the crawlers. Teams on Cloudflare confirm that the AI bot settings let search bots through while still blocking training bots. Publishers who block AI training check that they haven't also blocked AI search by mistake. Developers confirm that a JavaScript-heavy site still serves readable text to crawlers. SEO consultants add an AI crawler access test to technical audits.
