Worked example: blocking /admin but keeping /admin/public open
Illustrative input: a robots.txt with User-agent: *, Disallow: /admin and Allow: /admin/public, tested against three paths. This is an invented scenario to show how the result is read, not a real site.
- /admin/secret is Blocked: it matches "disallow: /admin".
- /admin/public/pricing is Allowed: it matches both rules, and "allow: /admin/public" is the longer, more specific one.
- /blog/post is Allowed: no rule matches, so the default is allowed.
What to do next: Test every path you depend on (key landing pages, your sitemap, CSS and JavaScript files) before you publish a robots.txt change. Remember that robots.txt controls crawling, not indexing.
Why it's free
Robots.txt Tester fetches the public URL through our server to check the current response. It does not use a language model. Requests are subject to server rate limits.
What you get
- The contents of a site's robots.txt and whether a URL is allowed or blocked for a crawler
Who uses the Robots.txt Tester
- SEOs checking crawl rules
- Developers verifying a deployment
- Marketers confirming key pages are crawlable
How it works
- Paste your robots.txt, or enter its address to fetch it
- Type the path you want to test, for example /admin/secret, and the user-agent (use * for the default group)
- Read Allowed or Blocked and the rule that matched, then edit the file and test again until the result is what you intend
Frequently asked questions
Is the Robots.txt Tester free?
Yes. Every one of GrowthGadgetAi's Marketing Toolkit tools, including the Robots.txt Tester, is completely free with unlimited use — no credits, no plan requirement and no credit card.
Do I need to create an account to use it?
The Robots.txt Tester runs without signing up — a free GrowthGadgetAi account only matters if you want your history saved, and it never requires a card.
Is my data stored?
The URL is sent to our server for a public-page request. Copy the result before leaving the page. Do not submit private URLs, passwords or access tokens.
How do I use the Robots.txt Tester?
1) Open the Robots.txt Tester. 2) Fill in your details or upload your file. 3) Copy or download the result. The whole process takes about a minute and runs on this page, on desktop or mobile.
What can I use the Robots.txt Tester for?
Common uses: marketers preparing campaign assets; developers and marketers needing a quick utility; agencies producing client-ready deliverables.
Which rule wins when Allow and Disallow both match a path?
In this tester the longest matching pattern wins, which mirrors how major search engines choose the most specific rule. If two matching patterns are the same length, the one listed first is used here, so avoid writing conflicting rules of equal length.
Does a robots.txt Disallow remove a page from Google?
No. Disallow stops crawling, but a blocked URL can still be indexed if other pages link to it, usually without a description. To keep a page out of search results, let it be crawled and use a noindex directive, or remove the page.
