ClaudeBot checker: test whether Claude AI can read your site

When you select a crawler and enter a URL, we send a server-side HTTP request using that bot's exact User-Agent string. For example, selecting Googlebot sends the request with 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1)' - the same identifier Google's real crawler uses.

Your web server receives this request and responds based on the User-Agent. If you have dynamic rendering, cloaking rules, or bot-specific logic configured, the response will reflect that. This is exactly what happens during a real crawl - we are replicating the full request/response cycle.

The returned HTML is then analysed for SEO elements: title tag, meta description, Open Graph tags, heading structure, canonical URL, structured data, and overall text content. Each element is scored, and the tool flags missing or problematic items with severity ratings.

When you select multiple crawlers, each one makes an independent request in parallel. The results are displayed side by side in a comparison table so you can spot differences - for example, a page that returns complete HTML for Googlebot but an empty shell for GPTBot.

ClaudeBot is Anthropic's web crawler that indexes content for Claude, one of the leading AI assistants. Claude uses crawled web content to provide accurate, well-sourced answers to user questions. If your pages return empty HTML, Claude cannot reference your business, products, or expertise.

Like other AI crawlers, ClaudeBot does not execute JavaScript. It reads the raw HTML response from your server. For modern JavaScript applications, this typically means ClaudeBot sees an empty page with no content, no meta tags, and no structured data.

Claude is increasingly used in professional and enterprise contexts for research, analysis, and decision-making. When professionals ask Claude about products, services, or topics in your domain, having your content accessible to ClaudeBot means Claude can accurately represent your offering.

ClaudeBot respects robots.txt and identifies itself clearly in its User-Agent string. Pre-rendering ensures your content is accessible to ClaudeBot without any code changes to your application.
