Page Crawl Simulator

See your page exactly as a search engine bot sees it. Verify JavaScript rendering and content indexing.

Simulate Crawl

What Is Crawl Simulation?

Crawl simulation lets you see your website exactly as a search engine bot (like Googlebot) sees it. This is crucial because modern websites often rely heavily on JavaScript to render content — and if that content isn't visible to bots, it won't be indexed.

  • Text-Only View: Shows only the text content a bot can extract. If your main content is missing here, it may not be indexed.
  • Meta Data: Displays the title tag and meta description as seen by the crawler.
  • Link Counts: Shows how many internal and external links the bot discovered on the page.

Why Crawl Testing Matters

Many modern websites use JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, Angular) that render content client-side. If Google can't execute your JavaScript properly, your content is invisible.

Google uses Mobile-First Indexing — it primarily crawls your site using a smartphone user agent. If your mobile rendering is broken, your desktop site rankings will suffer too.
Bot Perspective
See exactly what Googlebot sees — including text, links, and images it can access on your page.
JavaScript Rendering
Verify that JS-rendered content is accessible to crawlers and not hidden behind client-side scripts.

Best Practices for Crawlability

Ensure search engines can fully access and understand your content:

  • Server-Side Rendering (SSR): Use SSR or pre-rendering to ensure critical content is in the initial HTML response.
  • Don't block resources: Allow Googlebot access to CSS and JavaScript files in your robots.txt.
  • Test both user agents: Check rendering for both Mobile and Desktop Googlebot to catch rendering differences.
  • Keep text content visible: Ensure key content isn't hidden behind tabs, accordions, or lazy-load that bots can't trigger.

How to Use This Tool

Enter a URL, select a user agent (Googlebot Mobile is recommended), and click "Crawl". We'll fetch the page as that bot would, extract the visible text content, count internal and external links, detect images, and display the meta data — giving you a complete picture of what search engines see.
