ads.txt Validator

Review the advertising sellers your website declares—and find formatting issues to fix.

Free advertising file check

Check your authorized ad sellers.

ads.txt helps website publishers declare which advertising systems and seller accounts are authorized to sell their ad space. Enter your domain to review the public file at /ads.txt.

We check seller domains, account IDs, DIRECT and RESELLER relationships, optional certification IDs, and declarations such as OWNERDOMAIN and MANAGERDOMAIN. Your report highlights formatting errors, duplicate records, and suggestions by line number.

This checks the file’s syntax and declarations. It does not verify seller identities, account ownership, certification, ad approval, or revenue.

We check /ads.txt on the exact host you enter. Use your publisher’s root domain, or a subdomain where you publish a separate file. HTTPS falls back to HTTP if unreachable. Files up to 128 KB and 5,000 lines.

Recently updated your website?

Results are cached for up to one hour to reduce repeated requests and help protect our tools from abuse. If you update your website or files after a check, you may still see the previous results. Please allow up to one hour, then run the check again.
