About Robots Disallow Checker

This extension fetches the site's robots.txt, extracts the Disallow rules that apply to Googlebot, converts each one into a Google site: query, and shows how many URLs Google keeps in their index under each disallowed pattern. Because: A site can ask Googlebot not to crawl certain paths, but those URLs can still end up in the index. This tool makes it easy to spot where that's happening at scale. Click the icon on any site and the extension: 1. Fetches the site's robots.txt 2. Extracts every Disallow rule that applies to Googlebot 3. Builds a Google site: query for each rule 4.
