Separate crawling from indexing

Review the availability of robots.txt and any page-level indexing directives found in the response. A crawl rule controls fetching, while noindex signals that a page should be excluded from search results. The audit respects its applicable crawl rules, so a blocked page may not produce an HTML report. Use your search-engine webmaster tools to confirm actual index coverage.

What this checks

Review robots.txt availability and page-level indexing directives. The report distinguishes measured HTML signals from optional provider data and AI recommendations.

Understand the coverage

Public website analysis reads HTML without executing scripts. Hidden channel metrics and unavailable performance data remain unavailable. Competitor wording is a content signal, not keyword-volume or traffic data.

Frequently asked questions

Is this tool free?

Yes. You can run three fresh analyses daily, shared across SEO and competitor tools, with a one-minute cooldown. Cached results can be reused. AI explanations have a separate daily allowance.

Does the tool use AI?

The checks and scores come from measured evidence. When available, Postly’s AI adds a short explanation and practical recommendations. Measured results remain usable if AI is unavailable.

Can I audit my entire website?

The free audit checks one page. Eligible Postly dashboard workspaces can crawl up to 50 linked pages per run, save reports, compare previous results, and export findings.

Will my report appear in search results?

Submitted reports are not indexed. Public reports expire after one day; saved dashboard reports are retained for 30 days.
