Detailed Analysis

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: 20L23

Not checked

Page directives were not checked

The request for the page failed (Not requested: the site asks for a Crawl-delay of 20 seconds, and waiting for it would take this analysis past 10 seconds), so its meta robots tags and X-Robots-Tag headers were not read.

Consequence. Nothing is known about whether this page asks to be kept out of search results. Its absence of directives here proves nothing either way.

If that is not intended. Analyse the page again once it answers normally to our bot.

Not checked

1 declared sitemap was not checked

These sitemaps were not seen: each was blocked for our bot, left out by a limit, or did not answer in time. Each line says which.

Consequence. Nothing is known about whether they work. They are not counted against the file.

Pass

No syntax problems

Every line parses as a directive crawlers understand.
