Scanning Your Website

Technical SEO checks — robots.txt, sitemap, and page status

What Growthract looks at to see whether search engines and crawlers can actually reach and read your site.

Short answer

Growthract checks your robots.txt file ("Accessible" or "Problem"), your XML sitemap ("Looks healthy" or "Review needed"), and page-level signals like HTTP status codes, titles, and meta tags.

What this means

These are the basic plumbing checks search engines and AI crawlers rely on before they can even read your content. A robots.txt problem or blocked sitemap can prevent a page from being found at all, regardless of how good the content is.

What to do

Open the specific finding — it names the exact file or page and the exact issue. Fix that one thing (a misconfigured Disallow rule, a broken sitemap URL, a missing title) and rescan to confirm it cleared.
