Robots directive decoder

Paste your robots directives and read back exactly what they permit and forbid.

These generators run in your browser, so they need JavaScript enabled. Everything explained on this page is still readable without it.

Nothing is sent anywhere. Reload to clear.

A noindex on a blocked page is never read

This is the trap that keeps unwanted pages in Google. A crawler has to fetch the page to see the directive, so if robots.txt disallows it, the noindex might as well not be there. Check the path in the robots.txt tester first, and leave it crawlable.
