Batch AI crawler access checker

Check up to 10 sites in one run: AI crawler access, llms.txt, sitemap and structured data, side by side. Export the table as CSV for a client report or competitor comparison.

0 / 10

Each domain gets four requests: robots.txt, llms.txt, sitemap.xml and the homepage headers. No page content is fetched.

Building a useful list

  • One host per line. www.example.com and shop.example.com have separate robots.txt files.
  • Enter the address people actually link to. If the bare domain redirects to www, use www — that's the file crawlers read.
  • Comparable sites read better. Five competitors in one market beat twenty unrelated domains.
  • Over 10 means multiple batches. Run one first to check the output before continuing.

How this differs from the single check

The scoring is identical: 70 points for crawler access, 15 for AI infrastructure, 15 for technical readiness. The difference is that the batch version doesn't list all 16 crawlers individually — it gives counts and totals, which is what you need for comparison.

To see which specific crawler is blocked, run the single check on that domain.

Limits

  • 10 domains per run. Not a technical limit but a latency trade-off — more would time out.
  • Four requests per site. No page content, so content quality and structure aren't in the results.
  • Four batch runs per minute. Prevents use as a load-testing tool.
  • WAF blocks are invisible here. robots.txt may allow while a firewall rejects earlier.
