  description

  Simplify your technical SEO analysis with RoboX by Wingmen.
  
  RoboX is the ultimate technical SEO companion for developers and SEO professionals. Validate the crawlability and indexability (Meta Robots, X-Robots, Robots.txt & Sitemaps) of any website in real-time directly in your browser – fast, secure, and privacy-focused.
  
  🚀 Key Features:
  
  1️⃣ Live Robots.txt Audit
  • Instant Status: See immediately if the current URL is allowed or disallowed via the dynamic icon badge. Choose between live background checks or on-demand analysis.
  • Deep Inspection: Pinpoints the exact rule and line number blocking or allowing the page.
  • RFC 9309 Validation: Automatically checks syntax against official standards. Detects critical errors, typos, and deprecated directives (e.g., "Noindex" in robots.txt).
  • Deviating Bots: Smartly detects if specific bots (like GPTBot, Bingbot, or CCBot) are treated differently than the standard wildcard (*).
  
  2️⃣ Meta Robots & X-Robots-Tag Checker
  • Dual Analysis: Checks both HTML <meta> tags and HTTP X-Robots-Tag headers simultaneously.
  • Smart Conflict Detection: Warns you if tags conflict or if JavaScript injects/modifies meta tags after the initial page load (DOM vs. Raw HTML).
  • Clear Status: Instantly see Index/Noindex and Follow/Nofollow status based on the strict Google logic.
  
  3️⃣ XML Sitemap Validator
  • One-Click Check: Auto-detects sitemaps linked in robots.txt.
  • Deep Validation: Audits file size, XML structure, HTTP status codes, logic errors (e.g., missing <loc> tags or invalid W3C date formats), and natively unzips GZIP (.gz) sitemaps.
  • Performance Aware: Warns about high RAM usage for massive sitemaps (>10,000 URLs) to keep your browser fast.
  • Type Detection: Identifies Sitemap Indices, Image, Video, and News sitemaps automatically.
  
  4️⃣ URL Path Simulator
  • Scenario Testing: Simulate how different bots (Googlebot, Bingbot, ChatGPT, etc.) perceive the current page.
  • Path Input: Test specific subdirectories or files against the cached robots.txt instantly without having to navigate to them.
  
  5️⃣ Workflow & Usability Tools
  • Snapshot Overlay: Detach the analysis into a floating window. Perfect for screen sharing, presentations, or keeping data visible while navigating the site.
  • Performance Control: Customize background check behavior in the extension settings and use the force-refresh button to clear the cache instantly.
  • Multi-Language Support: Fully localized interface available in both English and German.
  
  🔒 Privacy First: Your data stays yours.
  • Client-Side Only: RoboX operates 100% locally in your browser.
  • No Tracking: We do not track your browsing history, analyze your traffic, or send data to external servers.
  • Transparent: The extension only connects strictly to the website you are visiting to fetch necessary technical files (like robots.txt).

  Simplify your technical SEO analysis with RoboX by Wingmen.
  
  RoboX is the ultimate technical SEO companion for developers and SEO professionals. Validate the crawlability and indexability (HTTP Status, Canonicals, Meta Robots, X-Robots, Robots.txt & Sitemaps) of any website in real-time directly in your browser – fast, secure, and privacy-focused.
  
  🚀 Key Features:
  
  1️⃣ HTTP Status Checker
  • Instant Status: See the raw HTTP status code of the current page immediately.
  • Dynamic Error Icons: Opt-in to show specific extension icons for 4xx and 5xx HTTP error pages directly in your browser toolbar.
  • Redirect Inspector: Traces the full redirect chain of the current page, documenting status codes for every single hop.
  • Robots.txt Block Detection: Warns you instantly if any intermediate URL in a redirect chain is blocked by robots.txt, preventing crawlers from reaching the final destination.
  • Raw HTTP Headers: Inspect the raw HTTP response headers individually for every hop in the redirect chain.
  
  2️⃣ Meta Robots & X-Robots-Tag Checker
  • Dual Analysis: Checks both HTML <meta> tags and HTTP X-Robots-Tag headers simultaneously.
  • Smart Conflict Detection: Warns you if tags conflict or if JavaScript injects/modifies meta tags after the initial page load (DOM vs. Raw HTML).
  • Clear Status: Instantly see Index/Noindex and Follow/Nofollow status based on strict Google logic, including support for specific crawler directives.
  
  3️⃣ Canonical Checker
  • Dual Analysis: Analyzes both HTML <link rel="canonical"> and HTTP Header canonicals to detect mismatches or conflicts.
  • Deep-Check Analysis: Run a powerful "Deep-Check" on any foreign canonical to instantly validate the target URL's HTTP status, robots.txt allowance, and indexability without having to leave the current page.
  
  4️⃣ Robots.txt Checker
  • Instant Status: See immediately if the current URL is allowed or disallowed.
  • Deep Inspection: Pinpoints the exact rule and line number blocking or allowing the page.
  • RFC 9309 Validation: Automatically checks syntax against official standards. Detects critical errors, typos, and deprecated directives.
  • Deviating Bots: Smartly detects if specific bots (like GPTBot, Bingbot, or CCBot) are treated differently than the standard wildcard (*).
  
  5️⃣ XML Sitemap Validator
  • One-Click Check: Auto-detects sitemaps linked in robots.txt.
  • Deep Validation: Audits file size, XML structure, HTTP status codes, logic errors (e.g., missing <loc> tags), hreflang attributes (xhtml:link), and natively unzips GZIP (.gz) sitemaps.
  • Performance Aware: Warns about high RAM usage for massive sitemaps (>10,000 URLs) to keep your browser fast.
  • Type Detection: Identifies Sitemap Indices, Image, Video, and News sitemaps automatically.
  
  6️⃣ URL Path Simulator
  • Scenario Testing: Simulate how different bots (Googlebot, Bingbot, ChatGPT, etc.) perceive the current page.
  • Path Input: Test specific subdirectories or files against the cached robots.txt instantly without having to navigate to them.
  
  ⚙️ Your Tool, Your Rules: Highly customizable & workflow ready.
  • On-Demand vs. Live Monitoring: You decide how RoboX works. Set the extension to continuously monitor the status quo in the background (updating the icon live as you browse) or to only run checks when you actively click the extension icon to save resources.
  • SPA Support: Smartly detects Single Page Application (SPA) navigation and prompts a quick refresh to ensure your data is never outdated.
  • Tailored UI: Customize exactly what you want to see. Enable or disable specific sections (Sitemaps, Syntax Validation, Tester, etc.) to keep your popup clean and focused.
  • Dark Mode & Languages: Switch seamlessly between Light and Dark Mode, and choose between an English or German interface.
  • Snapshot Overlay: Detach the analysis into a floating window. Perfect for screen sharing, presentations, or keeping data visible while navigating the site.
  
  🔒 Privacy First: Your data stays yours.
  • Client-Side Only: RoboX operates 100% locally in your browser.
  • No Tracking: We do not track your browsing history, analyze your traffic, or send data to external servers.
  • Transparent: The extension connects strictly to the URLs involved in your current page load (including the website you are visiting, its redirect hops, and canonical targets) to fetch necessary technical files like robots.txt. No third-party servers are involved.
