I ran across this site about a year ago. It claims to crawl your site just like google does and shows you the results. Grit technologies calls it Poodle Predictor. I don't know if they updated it when google updated their search algorithm, but it is still handy.

I use it mostly to check how many words make it in the title and which text shows up first on my page. I then edit the site live, go back to poodle predictor, hit refresh and check the changes. I have optimized most of my important sites like this and seem to get pretty good results.

Let me know your thoughts. Here is the link.

It looks like it does not recognize the robots.txt file?

Do you think there is any bennefit to this tool, or is not worth the time? Is it just outdated?

Sometimes I use it to make sure all the titles to my pages are displaying correctly.

Im no seo expert, so wouldnt give a qualified yes or no.
Its an interesting tool, and gives you a general overview of what google may see.
However, theres no guarantee google wont / hasnt changed :)
