robots.txt checker: are you blocking Google from your whole site?

A robots.txt with "Disallow: /" asks every crawler to stay away. Sometimes that's the plan. Often it's a leftover. ShipPatrol reads yours.

Why it matters

Google won't crawl pages your robots.txt blocks, so new content and changes stop showing up in search.

How Patch checks

We fetch /robots.txt and look for a rule that blocks everything for all user agents.

How to fix it

User-agent: *

Allow: /

Sitemap: https://your site/sitemap.xml

Edit robots.txt so it no longer says Disallow: / for User-agent: *.
A sensible default is:

Your own report goes further: it names the exact pages, services and settings Patch found on your site, and with a full report you get a fix prompt to paste into Lovable, Bolt or Cursor.

Applies to every site that wants search traffic.
