7 declared sitemaps could not be fetched

The URL is declared in robots.txt but does not return a successful response.

Consequence. Crawlers find nothing at the address they were pointed to, so no URLs are submitted. This is worse than declaring no sitemap, because the declaration suggests discovery is covered when it is not.

If that is not intended. Publish the sitemap at the declared URL, or correct the URL to where it lives.

Notice

4 rules can never take effect

A broader rule of the same type already covers these paths.

Consequence. These lines change nothing. They are harmless, but they add length to a file that has a size limit, and they make the real policy harder to read.

If that is not intended. Remove the redundant rules, or narrow the broader rule if it is catching more than intended.

Info

1 of 4 AI answer engines are blocked

Blocked: Google-Extended.

  • Google-ExtendedGoogleL41

    Google AI Overviews and Gemini grounding

    "Disallow: /" blocks Google-Extended.

If that is the intention. If your intention is to keep the site out of AI-generated answers, the current configuration achieves that for these crawlers — the rest of the group is still allowed.

Consequence. The site cannot be cited as a source in AI-generated answers. Unlike training crawlers these send referral traffic, so blocking them forfeits those visits.

If that is not intended. Remove the matching Disallow rule, or allow these agents on the sections you want cited.

Info

6 of 6 AI training crawlers are blocked

Blocked: GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Bytespider, meta-externalagent, CCBot, Amazonbot.

  • GPTBotOpenAIL41

    OpenAI model training

    "Disallow: /" blocks GPTBot.

  • ClaudeBotAnthropicL41

    Anthropic model training

    "Disallow: /" blocks ClaudeBot.

  • BytespiderByteDanceL41

    ByteDance model training

    "Disallow: /" blocks Bytespider.

  • meta-externalagentMetaL41

    Meta model training

    "Disallow: /" blocks meta-externalagent.

  • CCBotCommon CrawlL41

    Common Crawl, widely redistributed as training data

    "Disallow: /" blocks CCBot.

  • AmazonbotAmazonL41

    Amazon model training and Alexa

    "Disallow: /" blocks Amazonbot.

If that is the intention. If your intention is to prevent this content being used as model training data, the current configuration achieves that.

Consequence. These crawlers cannot retrieve content from the site, so it will not be collected as training data. They send no traffic back, and blocking them does not affect search rankings.

If that is not intended. Remove the site-wide block, or replace it with narrower path restrictions.

Pass

Search engines can reach the site

All 6 checked search engines are allowed at the site root.

Pass

User-triggered AI fetches can reach the site

All 3 checked user-triggered AI fetches are allowed at the site root.

Pass

Social link previews can reach the site

All 5 checked social link previews are allowed at the site root.

Not checked

Page directives were not checked

The page answered HTTP 403, 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.

Pass

No syntax problems

Every line parses as a directive crawlers understand.

Pass
