RoboX - Live Robots & Technical SEO Checker

Simplify your technical SEO analysis with RoboX by Wingmen.

RoboX is the ultimate technical SEO companion for developers and SEO professionals. Validate the crawlability and indexability (HTTP Status, Canonicals, Meta Robots, X-Robots, Robots.txt & Sitemaps) of any website in real-time directly in your browser – fast, secure, and privacy-focused. See critical SEO signals at a glance, seamlessly switch your crawler perspective, and bulletproof your technical setup.

🚀 Key Features:

1⃣ Global Crawler Perspective & User-Agent Switcher • Set Primary Crawler: Define in the settings which primary crawler perspective (e.g., Googlebot, Bingbot, GPTBot) RoboX should use to view the visited URLs. All integrated features evaluate data dynamically from the exact perspective of this selected bot. • Integrated User-Agent Switcher: Load URLs directly with a simulated User-Agent of your choice. When using this simulation, the entire technical setup of the page is seamlessly evaluated from the exact perspective of this UA. Typical bots are pre-installed, and custom UA strings can easily be added.

2⃣ HTTP Status Checker & Advanced Headers • Instant Status: See the raw HTTP status code of the current page immediately. • Redirect Inspector: Traces the full redirect chain of the current page, documenting status codes for every single hop. • Robots.txt Block Detection: Warns you instantly if any intermediate URL in a redirect chain is blocked by the robots.txt for your simulated bot. • Raw HTTP Headers: Inspect the raw HTTP response headers individually for every hop. • Smart Header Warnings: Automatically detects critical SEO headers like hidden Refresh redirects, crawl-budget wasting Cache-Control directives, No-Vary-Search, or Vary: User-Agent.

3⃣ Meta Robots & X-Robots-Tag Checker • Dual Analysis: Checks both HTML tags and HTTP X-Robots-Tag headers simultaneously. • Crawler-Specific Evaluation: Instantly detects if specific bot directives override general rules and calculates the final Index/Follow status exactly for your selected crawler. • Smart Conflict Detection: Warns you if tags conflict or if JavaScript injects/modifies meta tags after the initial page load (DOM vs. Raw HTML). • AI Bot Exclusion: Detects explicit exclusions for generative AI engines (like Microsoft Copilot) via noarchive or nocache directives.

4⃣ Canonical Checker • Dual Analysis: Analyzes both HTML and HTTP Header canonicals to detect mismatches or conflicts. • Deep-Check Analysis: Run a powerful "Deep-Check" on any foreign canonical to instantly validate the target URL's HTTP status, robots.txt allowance, and indexability.

5⃣ Robots.txt Checker & Bulk Testing • Instant Status: See immediately if the current URL is allowed or disallowed for your selected bot. • RFC 9309 Validation: Automatically checks syntax against official standards. Detects critical errors, typos, and deprecated directives. • AI Bots Dashboard: See at a glance if the current URL is blocked or allowed for 64 specific AI crawlers (like GPTBot, Claude, Perplexity, etc.) and Cloudflare Content-Signals. • Bulk Tester: Check up to 100 URLs simultaneously against the live robots.txt or your own custom code snippet directly in the extension.

6⃣ Blocked Resources Analyzer & Rendering Simulation • Risk Assessment: Automatically identifies CSS, JS, API, or Font files blocked by the robots.txt and estimates their potential risk level to the page's rendering. • True Rendering Simulation: Opens the current page in a new tab, temporarily overrides your browser's User-Agent with that of the selected bot, and strictly blocks all resources (like CSS or JavaScript) forbidden to it via API according to the robots.txt. This lets you visually verify exactly if important layout elements remain invisible to the machine.

7⃣ Link Analyzer & Visualizer • Powerful Extraction: Scrapes all on-page links, retrieving their exact HTTP status, Canonical targets, and Robots directives – dynamically evaluated from your current crawler perspective. • Visual Highlighting: Paint links directly on the webpage! Colors indicate their HTTP status, and dashed outlines instantly reveal URLs blocked by the robots.txt while you scroll.

8⃣ Technical SEO Change-Monitoring • Save Baselines: Save the exact technical SEO status (Status code, Canonicals, Meta/X-Robots) or the complete robots.txt file of any URL directly in your browser. • Smart Alerts: When revisiting a monitored URL, RoboX instantly warns you via the extension icon if any live directive deviates from your saved baseline.

9⃣ XML Sitemap Validator • Deep Validation: Audits file size, XML structure, HTTP status codes, logic errors, hreflang attributes, and natively unzips GZIP (.gz) sitemaps.

⚙ Your Tool, Your Rules: Highly customizable & workflow ready. • On-Demand vs. Live Monitoring: Set the extension to continuously monitor the status quo in the background or to only run checks when you actively click the extension icon. • SPA Support: Smartly detects Single Page Application (SPA) navigation and prompts a quick refresh to ensure your data is never outdated. • Dark Mode & Snapshot Overlay: Switch seamlessly to Dark Mode or detach the analysis into a floating window – perfect for screen sharing.

🔒 Privacy First: Your data stays yours. • Client-Side Only: RoboX operates 100% locally in your browser. • No Tracking: We do not track your browsing history, analyze your traffic, or send data to external servers.
