AI Crawler Access Checker

This checker reads your robots.txt and llms.txt and tells you which of the 10 AI crawlers that matter — from OpenAI's GPTBot to Anthropic's ClaudeBot and xAI's GrokBot — can actually access your site. A crawler you block is an engine that can never cite you. Results are instant and free.

The 10 crawlers we check

User agentWho it is
GPTBotOpenAI — model training
OAI-SearchBotOpenAI — ChatGPT search index
ChatGPT-UserOpenAI — live browsing on user request
ClaudeBotAnthropic — crawling
Claude-SearchBotAnthropic — search index
Claude-UserAnthropic — live fetches for users
Google-ExtendedGoogle — Gemini training/grounding
GrokBotxAI — Grok
PerplexityBotPerplexity — answer engine
CCBotCommon Crawl — used in many training sets

One wildcard rule can hide you from every engine

A single Disallow: / under User-agent: * — often left over from a staging config or a bot-blocking plugin — silently removes you from AI answers across all four major assistants. The fix usually takes two minutes.

Access is step one. Visibility is the goal.

See whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok actually mention your brand — free.
