Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Where does robots.txt go?
robots.txt must be at the root of your domain — exactly at https://yourdomain.com/robots.txt. It cannot be in a subdirectory.
Can I block specific crawlers?
Yes — specify the user-agent by name (e.g. User-agent: Googlebot) to apply rules only to that crawler. Use User-agent: * to apply rules to all crawlers.
Does robots.txt prevent pages from being indexed?
Disallowing a page prevents it from being crawled, but not necessarily indexed if other sites link to it. To prevent indexing, use a noindex meta tag.
robots.txt generation runs locally. No URL or configuration data is transmitted.
