Once you have logged into your Google Webmaster tools account, click on any of your listed / claimed domains to get to that domain's dashboard on Webmaster tools. If you look to the left-hand sidebar of the screen you will see the typical menu (see image below). You will want to click on Crawl to open that drop-down menu and from there select Fetch. Your screen should look something like this (initially yours will be mostly blank):
As you can see from the image above, we have gone through the trouble of already trying to "Fetch as Google" the homepage of this domain... and wouldn't you know it - Google can't fetch it! WHOOOPS! Do you think this might be part of the reason why this domain's search rankings have plummeted? That may or may not be the case... but with results like this, it might not be a bad place to start.Join the Discussion

I eould like to have seen what to do if you cannot crawl and fetch because your site has blocked the bots. My site has not been verified and is blocked due to Javascript and css I believe. I've had a heck of a time with this situation but I am not very tech saavy. Any help will be much appreciated!

I would've said this is an incomplete tutorial. Surely you can suggest some solution for the Denied items?

Now I just need to figure out how to fix the things it doesn't see. I have some scripts and images it says robots.txt denied. Do these things matter if the rendered page looks alright?
