Reddit is not blocking Google searches

 


Today is the 4th of July, and I would normally avoid writing here, but there are rumors going around that Reddit is blocking Google Search from crawling and indexing its content. This is not true. Reddit does not block Google Search.

So, at first glance, it looks like Reddit's robots.txt file blocks all search engines, including Google Search.

But that's just what you and I see.

If you access it from the Google Rich Results Test, you will see that Google is actually allowed in as if you were accessing it from Google's IP range.

Additionally, try checking if the tool has access to the Reddit homepage – it can and is allowed.

So it's kind of crazy to think that Reddit is blocking Google. It's even crazier that Reddit would actually do so, since Reddit is compensated by Google for its content and gets a ton of traffic from Google Search.

Great research on X by Pedro Diaz and here by Ryan Siddle.

Here's what they show on Google:
