Can't work out robots.txt issue.

Hi

I'm getting crawl errors that MOZ isn't able to access my robots.txt file but it seems completely fine to me? Any chance anyone can help me understand what might be the issue?

Ok, I made a quick test of your robot.txt file and looks fine, making HTTP status code test and shows me 200 code which is ok. Also, you need to make sure that your robot.txt file is accessible for the Moz crawler

• Remember to put your file is in the top-level directory of your web server.
• Also, check if your hosting provider is not blocking third-party crawlers (server level)

Here you can test the status code of your robot.txt file** https://httpstatus.io/ **If you're still having trouble this is the email of Moz help@moz.com

Also, you should check

Best of luck!

I would follow the advise from Roman, I tried to access the file via a few ways as well and it doesn't seem to be an issue to load it at all.
