Iframe and crawler checks for public websites
Check website embedding and crawler responses, then understand the evidence behind a blocked or successful request.
What IframeTester does
The main tester checks a public URL, follows a limited number of redirects, inspects framing-related response headers and opens the destination in a live browser iframe. Supporting tools help with embed HTML, sandbox permissions, Content Security Policy and troubleshooting.
Search and AI crawler testing
The crawler tester compares browser and selected bot User-Agent responses after checking robots.txt. It helps technical SEO teams investigate status codes, redirects and metadata differences for Googlebot, Bingbot and search or AI fetchers. Requests come from IframeTester, not a verified provider IP, and do not render JavaScript or crawl a whole site.
Who it is for
The site is built for developers, technical marketers, CMS users, support teams and site owners who need to diagnose iframe integrations or investigate how a public page responds to search and AI crawlers.
What the result means
A header verdict is a diagnostic signal, not a guarantee. Browser behavior can still be affected by JavaScript frame-busting, login state, cookies, storage restrictions, mixed content, redirects and application-specific rules. That is why the homepage combines header inspection with a live preview.
Privacy and remote URLs
Server-side checks need the URL you ask them to inspect. Iframe checks read response status and framing headers. Crawler checks also read a bounded portion of public HTML to compare metadata and indexing directives; neither tool exposes a page body as a browsing proxy. Analytics events are intentionally designed not to include the full tested URL by default because URLs can contain sensitive query data.
Security boundaries
The URL checker accepts HTTP and HTTPS only, rejects credentials in URLs, blocks common private and reserved address ranges, revalidates redirect destinations and uses short timeouts. Server-side checks are rate-limited. These controls are part of the tool's own safety model, not a claim that arbitrary remote content is safe.
Using the tools fairly
Each browser has separate allowances of 200 new iframe checks and 200 new crawler checks per hour. Remaining checks and the reset time appear in the tool. Cached results do not deduct an hourly check; rapid requests and excessive shared-network traffic are limited separately.
Recent diagnostic results can be reused for up to two minutes and robots.txt rules for up to five minutes. Use a fresh check after changing headers or robots rules. Preview resizing and the browser-only code tools do not use a diagnostic check. A valid fetch attempt counts even if the destination fails.
