Can AI crawlers actually reach your content?
robots.txt is only one piece of the puzzle. The AI Access Checker runs a full access path test — checking every layer that could silently block AI bots from indexing your content.
AI Access Checker
Beta · FreeThe full access path test is available in the Mentd. platform. It checks all five access layers and provides a per-crawler status for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended.

Most AI crawler audits only check robots.txt. That misses four other common access blockers.
robots.txt rules
Per-bot allow/disallow rules across all AI crawler user agents
HTTP response
Status codes, redirects, and headers that affect AI crawler behavior
Rendering requirements
Whether the page requires JavaScript to render content visible to bots
Meta tag directives
noindex, nofollow, and AI-specific meta tags blocking indexing
CDN / bot protection
Cloudflare and CDN settings that may classify AI crawlers as threats
Common questions
Why can't AI bots access my content even though robots.txt allows them?
Several issues can block AI crawlers beyond robots.txt: JavaScript-rendered content that bots can't process, noindex meta tags, CDN bot protection blocking crawlers, rate limiting, and server errors. The AI Access Checker tests all of these.
Does Cloudflare block AI crawlers?
Cloudflare's bot protection can flag AI crawlers as threats depending on your security level settings. GPTBot and other AI crawlers may be blocked by Cloudflare's managed bot rules unless you explicitly allow them.
What's the difference between the AI Access Checker and the robots.txt Checker?
The robots.txt Checker validates your robots.txt configuration. The AI Access Checker tests the full access path - including HTTP response, rendering, meta tags, and CDN protection - for any specific URL.
What's 'AI crawler verified access' vs estimated access?
Verified access means the crawler has been confirmed to successfully retrieve and index the page. Estimated access is inferred from the access path analysis. The full Mentd. platform shows actual bot activity from server log analysis.

Server log analysis shows verified AI bot activity — not just estimated access.
