Robots.txt Tester
Test your robots.txt file for any bot, instantly & free
What it does
Robots.txt Tester by DevHackes lets you check if your robots.txt file is blocking the pages you actually want crawled — or worse, letting bots crawl what you meant to hide. Paste your file or fetch it live from any domain, pick a user-agent (Googlebot, Bingbot, AI crawlers), enter your URLs, and instantly see Allowed vs Blocked with the exact rule responsible. No signup, no limits — built for developers and SEOs who want quick, accurate answers.
Test your robots.txt crawl directives against standard user agents to verify crawl paths permissions.

The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
