Robots.txt Best Practices

Don't Block Important Pages

Never block pages you want indexed. Blocking CSS/JS files can hurt your SEO.

Include Sitemap

Always include your sitemap URL to help search engines discover your content faster.

Test Before Deploy

Always test your robots.txt file using Google's testing tool before going live.

Frequently Asked Questions

The robots.txt file must be placed in the root directory of your website. For example, if your site is https://example.com, the file should be accessible at https://example.com/robots.txt.

The asterisk (*) is a wildcard that applies the rules to all web crawlers. You can also specify rules for specific bots like Googlebot or Bingbot.

While robots.txt can prevent crawling, it doesn't guarantee pages won't be indexed. For complete blocking, use meta robots tags or password protection. Robots.txt is a directive, not a security measure.
