Notice

Crawl-delay is declared 7 times 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: 10L56
  • Crawl-delay: 10L59
  • Crawl-delay: 10L62
  • Crawl-delay: 10L65
  • Crawl-delay: 10L68

Not checked

Page directives were not checked

The page answered HTTP 403 with a bot challenge instead of its content, 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

Every declared sitemap is an absolute URL and is crawlable.
