Purpose: Create a valid robots.txt to control how search engines crawl your site.
Robots.txt Generator
The Robots.txt Generator builds a valid robots.txt file with allow and disallow rules and a sitemap reference, giving you control over how search engines crawl your site.
What robots.txt does
The robots.txt file at your site root tells crawlers which paths they may or may not request. Use it to keep bots out of admin areas, cart pages, or duplicate sections, and to point them to your sitemap. The generator produces correctly formatted rules so you avoid syntax mistakes that could accidentally block your whole site.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is robots.txt used for?
It tells search engine crawlers which parts of your site they may or may not crawl, and can point them to your sitemap.
Does robots.txt keep a page private?
No. It controls crawling, not access. A disallowed page can still be indexed if linked elsewhere, and the file itself is public.
What happens if I disallow "/"?
That blocks crawlers from your entire site, so use it only intentionally. The generator helps you avoid such mistakes.
Where does the robots.txt file go?
In the root of your domain, so it is reachable at yoursite.com/robots.txt.
