Simulate a TimpiBot visit

Enter any URL on your website to crawl it as TimpiBot and inspect the HTML it gets.

How it works

How to use the TimpiBot simulator

  1. Step 1

    Enter a URL

    Paste the full URL of any page on your website, such as a product page, a blog post, or the home page.

  2. Step 2

    Select the TimpiBot user agent

    The tester sends the request with the TimpiBot user-agent string, so your server answers the way it answers a real TimpiBot visit.

  3. Step 3

    Run the crawl

    The simulator requests the page as TimpiBot and follows redirects, the same way the crawler does.

  4. Step 4

    Inspect the HTML

    Check the status code, redirects, response headers, raw HTML, word count, and Open Graph tags TimpiBot gets. If your main content is missing from the HTML, TimpiBot cannot read it.
