## 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.
