Three technical tools, free and unmetered

No signup, no email, nothing stored. Each one queries the live web at the moment you press the button.

Tool 01

robots.txt generator and checker

Build the file on the left, or read the one already live on the right. Read before you write — replacing a robots.txt without looking at the current one is how sites get accidentally deindexed.


        
      

Fetches /robots.txt from the domain and reports what it says.

Tool 02

XML sitemap validator

Fetches the file and checks it against the published limits — fifty thousand URLs, fifty megabytes uncompressed — plus the things that quietly break one: URLs on another host, unparseable lastmod values, duplicates.

A bare domain works too — it looks in the usual place. Sitemap indexes are followed one level, not crawled.

Tool 03

Redirect chain checker

Follows a URL hop by hop and shows every step with its status code. One redirect is fine. Four, or a loop, or a 302 where a 301 belongs, is a page spending its crawl budget on getting to itself.

Start with http:// and no www to see the whole chain a first-time visitor goes through.

What is not here

We do not publish a traffic, authority or rank checker

Traffic estimates come from clickstream panels that cost six figures to license. Domain Rating and Domain Authority are Ahrefs' and Moz's own models over their own crawls, with no free equivalent. Live rank checking means querying Google automatically, which its terms prohibit and its bot detection blocks.

Three tools that work beat nine that guess. Search Console gives you the rank data free, and it is the actual data rather than a sample of it.
