What each check tells you
Here’s the useful detail behind the quick result.
⌁ROBOTS.TXT GUIDE
Give search crawlers a clear map.
A robots.txt file lives at the root of your domain and tells automated crawlers which paths they may request. It is a public set of directions, not a security lock.
- 1 Keep it at
/robots.txt. - 2 Use simple, readable rules.
- 3 Add your sitemap URL when useful.
◈SSL GUIDE
Make every visit feel safe.
HTTPS encrypts the connection between a visitor and your website. A valid certificate and consistent redirects help browsers trust that connection.
- 1 Use HTTPS as your primary URL.
- 2 Redirect HTTP to HTTPS.
- 3 Renew certificates before expiry.
FAQ
Questions, made simple.
Not sure what a result means? Start here.
Is SiteSignal free to use? +
Yes. These checks are free, require no account, and are designed for occasional, practical use.
Does robots.txt block bad bots? +
No. robots.txt is a request for compliant crawlers, not a security control. Use authentication or server rules to protect private content.
What does an SSL check look for? +
It confirms that you are using an HTTPS address and provides guidance about keeping your secure connection consistent. Browser-only checks cannot expose every certificate detail.
Will you store my website or results? +
The page does not ask for an account or save a report. A check sends a request to the public address you enter, subject to the browser and network rules of your environment.
