Robots.txt Audit
Findings
- The current
robots.txtfor https://www.frevana.com explicitly allows all major web and AI bots full access to crawl the site. - Explicit “Allow: /” directives are given for a wide range of user-agents, including Googlebot, GPTBot, Gemini, ClaudeBot, and others.
- The file concludes with a reference to the sitemap:
Sitemap: https://www.frevana.com/sitemap.xml - No "Disallow" directives for private URLs or admin areas are present.
- One minor inconsistency: "user-agent: Google-InspectionTool" is lowercased (should be "User-agent" for convention).
- Redundant "Allow: /" repetition for each bot is unnecessary unless different rules are intended, but is harmless.
Best Practices Status
- SEO-friendly: Yes. All access is permitted for crawlers.
- Efficient Format: Can be simplified for easier maintenance.
Suggestions
- Use consistent casing ("User-agent").
- Consider simplification for reduced maintenance:
User-agent: * Allow: / Sitemap: https://www.frevana.com/sitemap.xml - If there are private/admin/secure areas, explicitly disallow them (e.g.,
Disallow: /admin/).
Reminder: The robots.txt file must be hosted at the root of the domain: https://www.frevana.com/robots.txt.
Sitemap Configuration
Summary of Check Findings
- A sitemap is declared in
robots.txt:Sitemap: https://www.frevana.com/sitemap.xml - Examination of the sitemap infrastructure revealed:
- https://www.frevana.com/sitemap.xml returns HTTP 200 (success), type application/xml. This is a sitemap index.
- The index links to three further sitemap files:
- An additional, alternative URL https://www.frevana.com/sitemap_index.xml was probed but returns HTTP 404 (not found).
List of Accessible Sitemap URLs
HTTP Issues Highlighted
- https://www.frevana.com/sitemap.xml: 200 OK (good)
- https://www.frevana.com/content/sitemap_index.xml: accessible
- https://www.frevana.com/articles/sitemap_index.xml: accessible
- https://www.frevana.com/solutions/sitemap_index.xml: accessible
- https://www.frevana.com/sitemap_index.xml: 404 Not Found
This URL does not need to exist and causes no SEO issues since it's not referenced by robots.txt or the main sitemap.
Remediation Advice
- If no sitemap is present:
Create a sitemap using an SEO tool or CMS plugin, host it at the domain root (e.g.,/sitemap.xml), and reference it inrobots.txt. - If alternate/incorrect sitemap URLs return errors:
Ensure only valid sitemaps are referenced; the current valid reference inrobots.txtis sufficient.
Reminder:
All sitemap files must reside at the domain root when referenced in robots.txt and must be directly fetchable via their URLs.

Findings
- No evidence of a publicly available
llms.txtdetected at https://www.frevana.com/llms.txt. - This file proposes standardized metadata and accessibility information for AI and LLM (large language model) crawlers and ecosystem actors.
