Googlebot can't access your site what does it mean and here is further message can anyone explain what does it mean ? Over the last 24 hours, Googlebot encountered 14 errors while attempting to access your robots.txt. To ensure that we didn't crawl any pages listed in that file, we postponed our crawl. Your site's overall robots.txt error rate is 58.3%. Recommended action If the site error rate is 100%: Using a web browser, attempt to access "domain dot com/robots.txt". If you are able to access it from your browser, then your site may be configured to deny access to googlebot. Check the configuration of your firewall and site to ensure that you are not denying access to googlebot. If your robots.txt is a static page, verify that your web service has proper permissions to access the file. If your robots.txt is dynamically generated, verify that the scripts that generate the robots.txt are properly configured and have permission to run. Check the logs for your website to see if your scripts are failing, and if so attempt to diagnose the cause of the failure. If the site error rate is less than 100%:

Any updates on your sire errors rate? Well, I just want to tell that this type of errors are just normal (meaning googlebot is just trying to say that they are having problem crawling your site, and this might be because of your server is down at the moment when googlebot is trying to crawl it) so no need to panic but observe. If this happen again, try to observe for 2-3 days, if the error is still there kindly report this to your hosting company. Also, sometimes, when you get site errors on your webmaster your robots will have too.
