Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tool actually use Googlebot?
We simulate Googlebot by sending requests with the official Googlebot user-agent string. This shows you what Google's crawler would receive, though some sites may still serve different content to verified Google IPs.
Why is my page showing different content?
Some websites use server-side cloaking or CDN-based bot detection that may serve different content to crawlers. This tool helps you identify such discrepancies.
Can I check pages behind a login?
No, this tool only crawls publicly accessible pages. Pages requiring authentication cannot be fetched.
What are robots meta directives?
The robots meta tag tells search engines whether to index a page and follow its links. Common values include 'index, follow' (default), 'noindex' (hide from search), and 'nofollow' (don't follow links).
How is this different from View Source?
Your browser's View Source shows what YOUR browser receives. This tool shows what Googlebot receives, which can differ if the server uses user-agent detection, cloaking, or dynamic rendering.
