Does netlify.app block AI crawlers?
No. As of October 19, 2026, netlify.app's robots.txt allows all 17 AI crawlers we check everywhere. None of them is named in the file: they all follow its rules for every crawler (User-agent: *).
It serves an llms.txt (2,818 bytes, starting with a Markdown title). The homepage is not an HTML page, so there was nothing to convert.
Each crawler, by its robots.txt rules
From https://netlify.app/robots.txt (147 bytes, 1 user-agent groups), parsed per RFC 9309. Blocked: no path allowed. Partly blocked: some paths disallowed. The rule counts are those of the groups that apply.
