Is your website invisible to AI - and you don't even know it?
If GPTBot, ClaudeBot or Bingbot can't reach your site, your content won't appear in AI-generated answers. A single Cloudflare rule or robots.txt mistake can block them silently. UAWatch checks 101 bots every day and emails you overnight with any changes.
Silent blocks nobody notices
A Cloudflare security update, a plugin change, a WAF rule — any of them can accidentally block AI crawlers overnight. You won't see it in your analytics. You'll just stop appearing in AI answers.
Rankings drop before you find out
By the time you notice traffic falling, the bot has been blocked for weeks. One client discovered Bingbot had been blocked for over a month, but UAWatch would have flagged it the next morning.
Developers don't check this
Migrations, plugin updates, security hardening — changes that make perfect sense can have unintended side effects on bot access. Most developers don't test for it.
SEO tools going dark
If Ahrefs, Semrush or Screaming Frog can't reach your site, your SEO data is wrong. UAWatch catches those blocks too.
Social previews breaking
Blocked Twitterbot or LinkedInBot means no link previews when your content is shared. UAWatch monitors social media crawlers too.
A Cloudflare security rule silently blocked Bingbot. The site's Bing rankings dropped steadily for weeks. The client only noticed when traffic was significantly down. UAWatch would have sent an alert the next morning at 03:00 UTC.

We check nightly
Every night between 01:00 and 03:00 UTC we test all 101 bots against your site - robots.txt rules and HTTP response.
Alert only on change
No news is good news! You only hear from us when something actually shifts - no marketing emails.
Plain English reasons
Every result explains why - "Blocked by WAF (403)", "Blocked in robots.txt", "Allowed - no restrictions".
Results Tab
Every bot's access status in one place, colour-coded by category so you can spot a problem area instantly. Click any category pill to filter down to just the bots that matter for that check.
Change History
Every shift in access status is logged with a timestamp - what it was, what it became, and when. No guessing whether something changed last week or last month.
Access Status Graph
A single check tells you today's status. The graph shows you the story and whether a bot has been reliably blocked, intermittently rate limited, or freshly broken.
robots.txt Viewer
Your robots.txt, exactly as bots see it. No need to dig through FTP or your CMS. We pull your live robots.txt on every check so you can see precisely what rules are in place, and catch mistakes before they cost you traffic.

UAWatch uses user-agent spoofing to test bot access. Firewalls that verify both user-agent and IP (such as Cloudflare) may produce false negatives. Results are indicative - always verify significant findings independently.
