AI Bot Access Checker: Free robots.txt Audit | Shivam Attri

Free tool to check whether GPTBot (ChatGPT), ClaudeBot (Claude), PerplexityBot (Perplexity), Bingbot (Copilot), and Googlebot can access your website via robots.txt. Instant check, RFC-compliant parser, no login required. Check if GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and Bingbot can crawl your site. A block robots.txt is the #1 cause of zero AI citations. Free, instant, no login.

The most common reason a brand is invisible in ChatGPT and Perplexity is not bad content. It is a blocked robots.txt. Check five AI crawlers in 30 seconds, get a precise access report and fix code instantly. We fetch your public robots.txt from our own server. No data is stored. No login required. After adding these lines, redeploy your site or purge your CDN cache. Crawlers will pick up the change within 24 to 48 hours. In every AEO audit I run, the first check is always robots.txt. Not schema. Not content. Not entity markup. Bot access is the hard prerequisite for everything in AI search visibility. AI engines cannot cite what they cannot read. A brand with perfect schema, answer-first content, and strong topical authority is still invisible in ChatGPT if GPTBot cannot crawl the site. The block is a hard stop before every other optimization. The irony: fixing bot access takes under 10 minutes. Most brands spend months refining content strategy while a single robots.txt rule sits quietly blocking every AI crawler that matters for citations. Blocking one bot means missing one AI engine entirely.
