Robots.txt Monitoring
Prevent SEO disasters before they happen

Robots.txt Monitor
www.example.com
Your entire site disappeared from Google. Nobody noticed for 3 days.
A developer pushed a staging robots.txt to production. By the time anyone noticed, Google had started de-indexing pages. Months of SEO work undone in hours.
Accidental 'Disallow: /' can block your entire site from search engines
Staging configurations get pushed to production without anyone noticing
Nobody reviews robots.txt changes in pull requests - they're not code
You only discover the problem when traffic drops or rankings vanish
By the time you notice, Google may have already started de-indexing
Re-indexing after a robots.txt mistake can take weeks or months
What you can monitor
Continuous Change Detection
We check your robots.txt file hourly and detect any modifications. Whether someone added a new disallow rule or completely replaced the file, you'll know immediately.
Visual Diff Comparison
When changes occur, see exactly what was modified with a clear side-by-side diff view. Quickly identify whether the change was intentional or a potential problem.
Syntax Validation
Robots.txt has specific syntax rules that are easy to get wrong. We validate your file automatically and alert you to syntax errors that could cause unexpected crawler behavior.
Change Alerts
Get notified when your robots.txt file changes. Whether someone modified a rule or replaced the entire file, you'll know immediately.
Sitemap Reference Tracking
Monitor the sitemap URLs declared in your robots.txt. Get alerts if the sitemap reference is removed or changed to an invalid URL.
Multi-Bot Analysis
Understand how your robots.txt affects different crawlers. See separate rules for Googlebot, Bingbot, and other search engine bots at a glance.
Version History & Rollback Info
Keep a complete history of every robots.txt version. When something goes wrong, quickly compare to previous versions to understand what changed and when.
Hourly Change Detection
We check your robots.txt every hour and notify you when changes are detected. Catch accidental modifications before they impact your SEO.
