AI Search Indexability & Crawlability Checker

Check if your website is accessible to search and AI crawlers like Googlebot, GPTBot, and PerplexityBot. Run a free test to see if your pages are crawlable, indexable, and ready for AI search retrieval.

How to Use the AI Search Indexability & Crawlability Checker

1

Enter Your URL

Paste the domain or page you want to analyze.

2

Run the Global Check

We test your site's availability and response time from five global data centers used by major search and AI crawlers.

3

Review Crawl & Index Signals

See whether your site is reachable, crawlable, and indexable across regions and crawler types.

Why SEO Pros Use This Tool

A page that's down, blocked, or unindexable can cost you rankings, traffic, and retrieval in both search engines and AI platforms. Use this free tool to:

  • Verify if your site is reachable from multiple global regions
  • Check crawl accessibility for Googlebot, Bingbot, and AI crawlers
  • Identify DNS, CDN, or server issues affecting crawl performance
  • Measure response times that impact Core Web Vitals and crawl rate
  • Monitor competitor uptime and accessibility
  • Review robots.txt directives that control crawler access

Global Testing Locations

We test your site's accessibility from five global regions:

  • US East (Virginia) – Eastern North America
  • US West (California) – Western North America
  • Europe (Frankfurt) – Central Europe
  • Asia Pacific (Tokyo) – East Asia
  • Asia Pacific (Sydney) – Australia / Pacific

Understanding Crawler Access

Search Engines (Googlebot, Bingbot):

  • Crawlable: Not blocked by robots.txt
  • Indexable: No noindex directives (meta tags or HTTP headers)
  • Important: If a page is blocked by robots.txt, search engines can't see your noindex tags. To exclude content safely, allow crawling and use noindex.

AI Crawlers (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot):

  • Controlled primarily through robots.txt (allow/disallow rules)
  • No consistent support for noindex across providers
  • If allowed in robots.txt, content may be retrievable by their models, depending on each provider's policy
  • Reported compliance varies by provider

Status Types

Allowed & Indexable (Googlebot/Bingbot): Crawling allowed, no noindex directives
Allowed but Not Indexable (Googlebot/Bingbot): Crawlable, but excluded via noindex
Allowed by robots.txt (AI Crawlers): Not blocked in robots.txt
Disallowed by robots.txt (AI Crawlers): Blocked in robots.txt

Understanding the Results

Each region returns:

  • Status: Online / Offline
  • Response Time: Measured in milliseconds (affects Core Web Vitals and crawl frequency)
  • HTTP Code: 200, 301, 404, 500, etc.
  • Search Engine Access: Shows crawl and indexability status for Googlebot and Bingbot
  • AI Crawler Access: Shows robots.txt permissions for GPTBot, PerplexityBot, and ClaudeBot

Pro Tip for SEOs

If your pages are accessible but AI crawlers are still referencing your content, review your robots.txt file for each AI user-agent (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot).

Compliance can vary, so rerun this test after any deployment, CDN update, or firewall change.
