Free Bot Viewer: See Your Page as Googlebot

Serving search engines different content from what visitors see. It violates Google's policies and can lead to a manual action. It is often unintentional: a firewall blocking bots, a geo redirect, an A/B test or a consent page served based on the User-Agent.

Yes: Google can no longer crawl the page and eventually deindexes it. This is typical of a misconfigured anti-bot protection (Cloudflare, Imperva, WAF rules). Explicitly allow search engine bots, verified through reverse DNS, not just by User-Agent.

Googlebot and Bingbot render pages in a headless browser, but with a delay and with limits. AI bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) usually read the raw HTML. This tool compares the raw HTML: if the content is not there, AI bots do not see it.

It is the most common profile. Differences with Googlebot's mobile versions can be legitimate (responsive site), but the title, canonical and robots directives must stay identical.

The visible text differs by less than 10%: usually a date, a counter, a session ID or a cookie banner. With no other gap, it is not a sign of cloaking.

It only sends the User-Agent string; it does not spoof Google's IP addresses or its DNS verification. A site that checks the IP may therefore respond differently to the real Googlebot. The results reflect User-Agent-based rules, the most common cause of differences.
