About Robots.txt Generator
Robots.txt is a text file in your website root that tells search engine crawlers which pages to crawl or ignore. Common uses: block admin areas, prevent indexing of duplicate content, protect staging environments, or limit crawl rate.
The generator creates valid robots.txt following the standard format. You can specify rules per user agent (Google, Bing, specific bots) or apply globally. Include sitemap URLs to help search engines discover all pages.
All generation is local. No site structure or blocked paths are uploaded, protecting confidential URL structures or strategic SEO decisions.
Frequently asked questions
No. Robots.txt is a request to crawlers, not access control. Blocked URLs can still be accessed directly or via links. For true protection, use authentication, password protection, or noindex meta tags.
Block only what you need. Blocking legitimate bots (Google, Bing) prevents indexing, hurting SEO. Block bad bots by user agent if they cause problems. Most sites allow all good bots.
In your website root: https://example.com/robots.txt (not in subdirectories). Crawlers check this location by standard. Upload via FTP, hosting panel, or deployment pipeline.
