Compare sitemap URLs with robots.txt rules, observed HTTP responses and noindex signals to identify potential AI crawler coverage issues.
AI Crawl Coverage Analyzer
Compare sitemap URLs with crawler rules, HTTP access and noindex signals for a selected AI crawler.
Check AI Crawler Coverage Across Your Sitemap
A website may have URLs listed in its XML sitemap while other technical signals affect how those URLs can be accessed or understood by crawlers.
The PKCapra AI Crawl Coverage Analyzer helps you inspect these signals together.
Select an AI crawler, provide your website, and analyze a sample of sitemap URLs against available robots.txt rules, HTTP responses and noindex signals.
What Does the AI Crawl Coverage Analyzer Check?
Sitemap URLs
The analyzer retrieves URLs from the website’s sitemap and uses them as the basis for the coverage analysis.
You can choose the number of URLs to analyze, helping keep the check practical for larger websites.
Robots.txt Rules
The tool checks the applicable robots.txt directives for the selected AI crawler and evaluates whether sitemap URLs appear to be allowed or restricted.
HTTP Status
The analyzer checks the observed HTTP response for the URLs being analyzed.
HTTP responses can provide additional information beyond what robots.txt says.
Noindex Signals
The tool checks available page-level signals for indications that a URL should not be indexed.
This is useful because sitemap inclusion alone does not necessarily mean that every other indexing or crawling signal is aligned.
Combined Coverage Assessment
The results bring these signals together so potential conflicts can be identified more easily.
How to Use the AI Crawl Coverage Analyzer
1. Enter Your Website
Enter the public website URL you want to analyze.
2. Select an AI Crawler
Choose the AI crawler whose crawl coverage you want to investigate.
3. Choose the URL Sample Size
Select how many sitemap URLs should be checked.
The tool provides selectable sample sizes of:
- 10 URLs
- 20 URLs
- 30 URLs
4. Start the Analysis
Run the analyzer and allow it to retrieve the available sitemap and page information.
5. Review Coverage Results
Review the individual URL results and identify URLs that may require further technical investigation.
How to Interpret AI Crawl Coverage Results
AI crawl coverage depends on multiple technical signals rather than a single setting.
For example, a sitemap URL may be present in the sitemap while another signal indicates that further investigation is needed.
The analyzer therefore helps compare:
Sitemap → Robots.txt → HTTP Response → Noindex
This makes it easier to identify potential inconsistencies between what a website publishes as discoverable URLs and the technical signals available to crawlers.

Privacy and Processing
The analyzer works with the public website information required for the coverage analysis.
Only submit publicly accessible website URLs.
Results represent observations made during the analysis and may vary depending on server configuration, CDN behavior, rate limiting, network conditions and temporary responses.
Important Limitations
The AI Crawl Coverage Analyzer does not represent a complete crawl of an entire website.
The tool analyzes a selected sample of sitemap URLs to provide a practical coverage diagnostic.
Results can also be affected by:
- CDN configuration
- Web Application Firewalls
- server availability
- rate limiting
- temporary HTTP errors
- robots.txt configuration
- page-level directives
- differences between the checking environment and an actual crawler’s infrastructure
A coverage result should therefore be treated as a technical diagnostic, not a guarantee of how every AI crawler will behave.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AI Crawl Coverage Analyzer?
It is a diagnostic tool that compares sitemap URLs with technical signals such as robots.txt rules, observed HTTP responses and noindex signals for a selected AI crawler.
What is the difference between A2 AI Crawler Checker and A3?
A2 — AI Crawler Checker focuses on a selected crawler and a specific website path.
A3 — AI Crawl Coverage Analyzer examines a sample of sitemap URLs and compares multiple crawl-related signals across those URLs.
Does A3 analyze my entire website?
Not necessarily. The tool uses a configurable sample of sitemap URLs, with options for 10, 20 or 30 URLs.
Why compare sitemap URLs with robots.txt?
A sitemap identifies URLs that a website is making discoverable, while robots.txt provides crawler access directives. Comparing the two can help identify URLs that may need technical review.
Why check noindex signals?
A URL can appear in a sitemap while page-level signals may indicate that it should not be indexed. Checking both signals provides a more complete technical picture.
Does sitemap inclusion guarantee AI crawler access?
No. Sitemap inclusion does not by itself guarantee that a crawler can access or process a URL. Other technical signals and server behavior can affect the result.
Are the results guaranteed to represent a real AI crawler?
No. The analyzer provides observations based on its checking requests and publicly available website signals. It cannot guarantee how an actual crawler will behave from another infrastructure or network environment.
Related Website Crawl & Indexing Checks
AI crawl coverage ko samajhne ke liye sitemap, robots.txt aur indexability signals ko ek saath dekhna useful hota hai. Agar aap broader technical website diagnostics kar rahe hain, to PKCapra ka Indexability / Crawlability Analyzer pages ke crawl aur indexability signals ko investigate karne mein madad karta hai. Aap apni site’s Robots.txt Analyzer se robots.txt directives ko separately inspect kar sakte hain, jabke XML Sitemap Analyzer sitemap structure aur URLs ko examine karne ke liye useful hai. In tools ko A3 ke coverage results ke saath use karne se website ke crawling and indexing signals ko ek broader technical context mein review karna easier ho jata hai.
