See your site the way Google and AI bots see it.
If your content only appears after JavaScript runs, search engines and AI crawlers may see a blank shell — and can't rank what they can't read. RankForge fetches your page as different bots and reports what they actually get. Paste your URL — free, no account required.

What does this tool check?
What problems does this find?
The issues this check most often surfaces on real sites:
- Content injected by JavaScript that crawlers never see
- Pages that return an empty shell to bots
- Bot whitelisting that leaves some engines blind to your content
What do I do after the check is complete?
Search engines and AI bots don't always see your page the way you do in a browser. We checked what they actually receive — because they can't rank content they can't read.
- 1
Start with the pages that matter commercially
Work down the list in order of how much you care about the page, not how bad the number looks. A flagged page nobody needs to find is not worth an hour of your time.
- 2
Fix the cause, not the symptom
Most findings here are structural: a page is unreachable, under-linked, or competing with another page. Adding one contextual link from a strong, relevant page usually fixes more than editing the page itself.

Re-run this check to confirm the fix landed
The check is free and takes a couple of minutes. Re-crawling after a change is the only way to know it worked — and the full audit tracks the difference between crawls for you.
Why can google crawl my website matters for SEO
Search engines and AI assistants can only rank content they can actually read. If your pages build their content with JavaScript, many crawlers — and even Google, inconsistently — may receive an empty shell instead of your text, links, and headings. Confirming that bots see your real content is foundational: every other SEO effort is wasted on a page a crawler can't read. As AI-driven search and answer engines grow, and many of them render little or no JavaScript, server-rendered content is moving from nice-to-have to essential for visibility.

Why would a bot see something different from me?
Your browser runs JavaScript to build the page. Many crawlers — especially AI bots and some search engines — fetch the raw HTML and don't fully execute JavaScript. If your content is injected by JS, those bots may see an empty shell.
Does Google run JavaScript?
Google can render JavaScript, but it's slower, queued, and not guaranteed for every page or bot. Server-rendered content is always the safer bet — and many other crawlers (Bing, AI assistants) are far less capable, so JS-only content is a real risk.
What does the full audit add?
The free check probes a page and reports each bot's verdict. A free account runs a site-wide JavaScript-rendering assessment, flags every at-risk page, recommends fixes, and adds a client-ready PDF.
