Crawler checker, answered

Which crawlers does it test?

OAI-SearchBot, OAI-AdsBot, GPTBot, and ChatGPT-User — each checked against your live robots.txt rules.

ChatGPT-User shows blocked but still fetches — why?

It is user-initiated, so robots.txt rules may not apply. Use IP-range firewall rules for hard blocks.

How current are the IP ranges?

Ranges come from OpenAI’s published JSON files. Refresh any server-side rules on a schedule, as ranges change.
