What is robots.txt?
robots.txt is a file that tells search engine crawlers which pages or sections of your website they can or cannot access. It's placed in your website's root directory and helps control how search engines crawl and index your site, protecting sensitive areas and managing crawl budget.
Why Use robots.txt?
- Control which pages search engines can crawl
- Protect private or duplicate content from indexing
- Manage crawl budget efficiently
- Prevent indexing of admin areas and test pages
- Specify sitemap location for search engines
Implementation Tips
Save the generated file as "robots.txt" and upload it to your website's root directory (same level as index.html). Access it at yourdomain.com/robots.txt. Be careful with Disallow rules - blocking important pages can hurt SEO. Always test your robots.txt file using Google Search Console's robots.txt tester.
