How the AI crawler test works

  1. 01 Paste any URL — your homepage, a key landing page, or a single blog post.

  2. 02 We send a real HTTP request to your server using each crawler's exact User-Agent string.

  3. 03 You see status codes, response times, redirects, and a verdict per bot — in seconds.

  4. 04 We also flag robots.txt-only directives like Applebot-Extended and Google-Extended.

Why AI crawler access matters in 2026

If your origin server, CDN, or WAF blocks an AI crawler, you disappear from that AI's answers. Many sites block AI bots without realising it — Cloudflare's "Block AI Bots" toggle, default firewall rules, and aggressive bot-management settings all silently 403 the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

Track your AI search visibility — every day

Crawler access is step one. Step two: see exactly what ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude actually say about your brand — and how your visibility compares to competitors.
