Full summary	Link Redirect Trace is an advanced Chrome extension designed for SEO professionals and digital marketers. It provides detailed and accurate analysis of redirect paths, protocol headers, REL-canonicals, and robots.txt rules, helping users understand every aspect of URL redirection. With this tool, you can instantly check if robots.txt blocks crawlers from redirects, identify URLs that drop cookies, evaluate backlink power and trust scores (LRT Power and LRT Trust), and detect NOINDEX/NOFOLLOW tags on redirect steps. It's ideal for on-page SEO, off-page SEO, and competitor analysis, ensuring you get the complete picture on every redirect and related technical issues such as bot-specific blocking.	Robots Exclusion Checker visually flags crawl/index blocks by testing six key elements: robots.txt, meta robots, AI bots, x-robots-tag, canonical, and UGC/nofollow attributes. It shows precise rules, lets you view the live robots.txt, copy or view sources, and highlights directives in color-coded alerts. You can simulate Googlebot, Googlebot News, Bing, and Yahoo to see how different search engines access pages. This browser extension is a valuable tool for SEO and digital marketing, helping you quickly spot crawl or indexation issues, review complex facets like faceted navigation, and audit pages without juggling multiple tools. It offers clear warnings, easy navigation, and customizable highlighting for UGC, sponsored, and nofollow links.
