About this tool
Check page-level robots directives before launch so noindex, nofollow, and snippet rules do not conflict or accidentally suppress important pages.
This SEO tool is built for pre-publish QA and implementation support rather than vague optimization advice. It helps teams check one search-facing signal cleanly before a page, template, or release goes live.
- Parses a full meta robots tag or a raw directive string.
- Flags conflicts such as index with noindex or follow with nofollow.
- Validates preview-related directives like max-snippet, max-image-preview, and max-video-preview.
How to use Robots Tag Checker
Enter the relevant metadata, markup, URL set, or export data into the tool above, then review the checks and corrected output. Use the result to fix the source template, CMS field, or deployment rule before shipping changes.
When this tool is useful
- Review page-level noindex or nofollow directives before publishing an SEO-sensitive page.
- QA template changes where snippet limits, image previews, or noarchive settings were recently added.
- Check copied meta robots tags from plugins or CMS fields for conflicting directives.
Practical tips
- Use page-level robots tags sparingly because they can override broader site intent in ways that are easy to miss.
- Avoid mixing index with noindex or follow with nofollow. Pick the directive that matches the actual page goal.
- Treat `none` as shorthand for noindex plus nofollow and keep the tag simple when possible.
Why people use this tool
