Site-wide checks
These checks apply to the whole site and run on every check, whatever pages you monitor.
robots.txt
Section titled “robots.txt”Detects any change to robots.txt. If the file starts blocking the entire site from crawling, a critical finding is raised.
AI crawler rules
Section titled “AI crawler rules”Shows what robots.txt says to AI and search crawlers, including GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot and other supported agents, and records when those rules change.
SEO Sentry reports these rules; it never modifies them. See also AI crawler tracking.
XML sitemap
Section titled “XML sitemap”Checks that the XML sitemap is reachable and valid, and detects significant drops in the number of URLs it lists.
WordPress search visibility
Section titled “WordPress search visibility”Detects when Settings → Reading → Discourage search engines from indexing this site is enabled or changed.
