What it checks

The extension reads robots.txt and looks for schemamap: directives, the NLWeb Schema Feeds convention for pointing agents to a Schema Map XML file that lists a site’s structured-data feeds. It does not fetch the Schema Map itself.

Status When
Pass robots.txt contains one or more schemamap: directives
N/A No schemamap: directive was found

How to fix

If you publish feeds of your structured data, add a schemamap: line to robots.txt pointing to your Schema Map file:

User-agent: *
Allow: /

Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml
schemamap: https://example.com/schemamap.xml

See also robots.txt present & valid and Structured data (JSON-LD).

Support by agent and browser

Announced means the vendor’s own docs or announcement say so. Published is the date on the vendor’s own page, where it has one. Checked is the last time our weekly research found that page still saying so.
