Predibase — what a crawler receives from predibase.com

Website measurement, not a product review. This page records what machine clients received from predibase.com. It does not evaluate Predibase software, features, pricing or support.

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.

75

Stage 1 · 40% of the score

Reach

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

At least one answer engine was refused, challenged or served less than a browser.

40

Stage 2 · 30% of the score

Read

Once it has the bytes, can it find the words?

The content is buried in markup, or the files that guide a crawler are missing.

What to fix

6 findings on this site, 4 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.

1 Critical 1 High 2 Medium 1 Low 1 Note

1robots.txt is HTML, not texttext/html; charset=utf-8, 191 bytes.CriticalSetting

What we saw

text/html; charset=utf-8, 191 bytes. /robots.txt

Why it matters

robots.txt must be plain text. Served as HTML it cannot be parsed, so no crawl directives and no sitemap reference are read.

How to fix it

robots.txt is returning an HTML page. Serve a real text file at /robots.txt, and check that no catch-all route is answering instead.

Setting: a setting on the server, CDN, DNS or a plugin — no code and no writing

Site deployed from GitHub

  1. Add this workflow file as .github/workflows/crawlcheck.yml (change robots-path if robots.txt lives elsewhere).
  2. Run it from the Actions tab: it opens one pull request with the corrected robots.txt, every change listed. Review, merge, deploy.

How the action works

Paste this

Nothing to paste here: predibase.com redirects to another site, so crawlers read that site’s robots.txt. Fix it there, or serve a real robots.txt on this domain if it should stand on its own.

Fix it with a coding agent

Paste into Claude Code, Cursor or Codex, opened on the code that serves this site.

Show prompt
You are working in the codebase (or server/CDN configuration) that serves predibase.com. A crawler audit found the problem below. Fix it at the source, keep the change as small as possible, and do not change anything a visitor sees unless the fix requires it.

Finding: robots.txt is HTML, not text (ROBOTS_IS_HTML, critical severity)
Page: https://predibase.com/robots.txt
What was measured: text/html; charset=utf-8, 191 bytes.
Why it matters: robots.txt must be plain text. Served as HTML it cannot be parsed, so no crawl directives and no sitemap reference are read.
How to fix it: robots.txt is returning an HTML page. Serve a real text file at /robots.txt, and check that no catch-all route is answering instead.

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=predibase.com . The fix counts when ROBOTS_IS_HTML is gone from the new report.
