This issue began after June 23, 2026, with Claude returning a "ROBOTS_DISALLOWED" error, even though the website's robots.txt file is permissive and other services like Googlebot and ChatGPT can access it without issue. The user suspects Anthropic may have implemented a domain-level block or is experiencing a caching issue, as the failed requests do not appear in their server logs. AI
