County websites with robots.txt problems

599 of 2,401 fully scanned U.S. county government websites have a robots.txt problem. A map, the share in each state, and every site listed, from ScanGov homepage scans.

Sites: 2842
Last scan: 10/9/2026

Of the 2,401 fully scanned U.S. county sites we tested, 599 (25%) have a robots.txt problem. Another 710 (30%) have no robots.txt file at all. No check fails for that, so they count as passing here, and the map shows them in their own color. Among states with at least 10 tested sites, Washington has the highest share at 69% and West Virginia the lowest at 4%. A robots.txt file tells search engines and AI agents which parts of a site they may crawl and where to find the sitemap. When a site has one, it has to follow the format and not block the whole site. A site counts as failing when it fails any of the checks behind this page: Robots validand Robots allowed.

About these checks

A robots.txt file tells search engines and AI agents which parts of a site they may crawl and where to find the sitemap. When a site has one, it has to follow the format and not block the whole site. The botability checks behind this page test each part of that. A site with no robots.txt file passes both checks, since nothing blocks crawling and there is no file to get wrong. Sites whose robots.txt could not be fetched are left out of the share.

Robots valid. The site's robots.txt file is written correctly so search engines can follow it. Search engines ignore crawling rules they cannot read.
Robots allowed. The robots.txt file allows search engines and AI agents to crawl the site. Your site is blocked from search results.

About this data

ScanGov scans the homepage of each county government site on our county list. Scores come from the checks listed on standards.scangov.org. Sites were scanned between 7/18/2026 and 10/3/2026; each site's report shows its own scan date. A site counts as fully scanned when its homepage returned successfully and sent the scanner its page content. Averages, grade shares, failure rates, and ranks use fully scanned sites only. We weren't able to fully scan 421 sites because they did not respond, blocked the scanner, or returned no page content. They appear in the table without grades, each with its scan status, and are left out of every figure. Grades follow the ScanGov grade scale, and rank follows the ScanGov ranking method. The full dataset, including every county's raw results, is published in the ScanGov data repository.

20 fully scanned county sites have no result for these checks and are left out of the share.
