How Google Treats robots.txt HTTP Responses I'm currently working on an article that explores the nuances of how Google interprets robots.txt and best practicies I've created a visual representation to illustrate this concept, and I can't wait to share it with you! Here’s a sneak peek of how Google responds to different HTTP status codes of robots.txt: 200 OK file is processed as received. 3XX (Redirection) crawler follows up to 5 redirects, after which it treats it as a 404. 4XX (Client Errors) treated as if no robots.txt file exists, except for a 429 status code. 5XX (Server Errors) if the site remains unreachable for over 30 days, the crawler uses the last cached version. Which robot are you today? Me? Definitely a 5XX Status Code Robot—always a bit out of service! 😂

The report now shows files found by Google, the last time it was crawled and also any warnings/errors. It also enables you to request a recrawl of a robots.txt file for emergency situations, along with the previous fetched version in the last 30 days (which is a nice addition). Overall, this looks like a nice upgrade from the previous robots.txt tester which was quite hidden and rarely used by SEOs in my experience. You can take a look at the new report through clicking Settings > Crawling > Robots.txt.
