Path Access Checker

Detailed Analysis

Warning

1 line will be ignored by crawlers

Lines that do not parse as a known directive: unknown_directive.

Consequence. A crawler skips what it cannot parse, without reporting anything. A misspelled "Dissalow" leaves a path fully crawlable while the file appears to restrict it.

If that is not intended. Correct the spelling of each field name, and make sure every line follows "Field: value". Rules must also appear after a User-agent line to belong to a group.

  • Unknown directive 'llms.txt' — crawlers will ignore this lineL34unknown_directive
Warning

1 rule names a location nobody would have guessed

Rules name a sensitive location made specific by a qualifier or by where it sits, or a spreadsheet by its full path.

Consequence. A bare "/backup" is in every scanner wordlist; "/backup-2023/" is in none. Listing it advertises the location to the readers least likely to honour the rule.

If that is not intended. Put these locations behind authentication or remove them; once they are protected, the line can stay or go. Responses behind authentication are not indexed, so they need no "noindex". Content that is public by design and only has to stay out of search wants a "noindex" without the Disallow: a crawler only sees a noindex on a page it may fetch.

  • Disallow: /wp-stage/*L7"stage" with a qualifier
Notice

Crawl-delay is declared 1 time and Google ignores it

Crawl-delay was never part of the standard. Google has never supported it; Bing and Yandex do.

Consequence. Any rate limit intended for Googlebot is not being applied. If the goal was to reduce load from Google specifically, it is not working.

If that is not intended. Set the crawl rate for Google in Search Console instead. Keep the directive if the limit is meant for Bing or Yandex, which do honour it.

  • Crawl-delay: 5L10
