Sitemap vs Robots Checker
Enter a domain to check whether its sitemap is declared in robots.txt, reachable, and valid.
About this tool
This compares what robots.txt declares against what's actually reachable and valid — a quick consistency check, separate from the Robots.txt Checker and XML Sitemap Checker, which each inspect one of the two in depth.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does this tool compare?
- Whether a sitemap is declared in robots.txt, reachable at the standard location, and structurally valid.
- Does robots.txt control whether a page is indexed?
- No — robots.txt influences crawling, not indexing directly.
- What if no sitemap is declared in robots.txt?
- That's noted but not treated as an error on its own — the tool also checks the standard /sitemap.xml location.
