SEO Browserthe crawler's-eye view

Googlebot simulator

View your website as Googlebot.

Fetch with Googlebot's published desktop and smartphone user-agents, then set the response beside a normal browser to spot cloaking, blocks, or content served differently to the crawler.

Uses Google's documented crawler user-agent strings. It does not fetch from Google's IP ranges and cannot prove your server treats the real Googlebot identically.

FETCH AS GOOGLEBOT ///

JavaScript

No signup. Usually under 10 seconds. Your URL is submitted by POST, never written to disk or a database, and never logged by the crawler. It is processed in memory only for this one request, then discarded.

Advanced settings

Public pages only — the analyzer accepts http and https URLs on ports 80 and 443, follows up to five redirects, and caps the fetched response at 2 MB. Private, loopback, and cloud-metadata addresses are refused.

HOW

What this checks.

Googlebot Smartphone is Google's primary crawler for most sites. Fetching with its identity surfaces three common failures.

01

User-agent gating

Some servers return different markup, a block page, or a redirect when the user-agent is Googlebot. The side-by-side response makes that visible.

02

Mobile vs. desktop

Under mobile-first indexing, the smartphone crawler's view is what usually matters. Compare desktop and smartphone fetches to catch mobile-only gaps.

03

Render dependence

Toggle JavaScript off to see the raw HTML Googlebot downloads first, then on to see the rendered DOM it may build later.

Honest limit: this simulates Googlebot's identity, not its infrastructure. It is not affiliated with Google. For the authoritative crawl and index state of a page you own, use Search Console URL Inspection.
