Freepik — what a crawler receives from freepik.com
Website measurement, not a product review. This page records what machine clients received from freepik.com. It does not evaluate Freepik software, features, pricing or support.
AI assistants like ChatGPT can read your site, but find little they can quote from your pages.
AI visibility 78/100, measured 2026-10-29 08:03 UTC from outside its network, as each named AI and search crawler and as a browser. An engine can reach and read this site. What is left is giving it something specific to say.

The three stages, in the order an engine hits a site
Each stage gates the next: an engine that cannot reach a page never reads it, and one that cannot read it never quotes it.

Can a named answer-engine crawler get your pages at all?

What to fix
7 findings on this site, 1 of them scored serious. Every one is named below; the top one is shown in full, free. What we saw, why each matters, how to fix it and the bytes behind it are what a licence buys — or we implement the whole list for you.

What we saw
3 named User-agent groups (3 agents) do not repeat 111 of the Disallow rules the `*` group carries. A crawler obeys only its own most-specific group and ignores `*` entirely, so those rules do not apply to any of the named agents. Worst group: `mediapartners-google` bypasses /app/, /*/app/, /sitemaps/, /login, /contacto/, /contact/, /contact, /trk-download/, /ad/adserver.php, /advertisers/, /dmca_notification, /search?, /profile/payment/getstarted/*, /profile/license, /profile/downloads_limit, /xhr/, /media/js/translations.js, /download-limit, /download-file/, /redirect. /robots.txt
Why it matters
A crawler reads only the User-agent group that matches it best and ignores every other group, including `*`. Naming an agent and giving it only `Allow: /` therefore deletes all of your `*` Disallow rules for that agent. The file still parses and the agent still reaches your homepage, so this is invisible on inspection — but the paths you meant to keep out of search are open, and search engines will crawl and may index them.
How to fix it
Every User-agent group that names a crawler must repeat the Disallow rules you want applied. A named group with no rules means 'allow everything' for that crawler.
Setting: a setting on the server, CDN, DNS or a plugin — no code and no writing
Site deployed from GitHub
- Add this workflow file as
.github/workflows/crawlcheck.yml(changerobots-pathif robots.txt lives elsewhere). - Run it from the Actions tab: it opens one pull request with the corrected robots.txt, every change listed. Review, merge, deploy.
Paste this
Each crawler obeys only its own group, so a named group must repeat the rules you want. The corrected file below copies them in for you.

Rule and examples: https://crawlcheck.io/rules/ROBOTS_RULES_SHADOWED Full report (markdown): https://crawlcheck.io/r/6hyrilfp2o.md When you are done: 1. Tell me which files or settings you changed and why. 2. If the fix is a server, CDN or cache setting you cannot change from the code, say exactly where it is set. 3. After deploying, re-scan at https://crawlcheck.io/?url=freepik.com . The fix counts when ROBOTS_RULES_SHADOWED is gone from the new report.
