What is a robots.txt file?
A robots.txt file is a plain-text set of instructions for compliant web crawlers. It sits at the root of a domain and helps search engines understand which sections they may crawl. It is useful for crawl management, but it is not a security tool and does not guarantee that a URL stays out of search results.
How to use this generator
- Choose whether crawlers should be allowed by default.
- Add an optional crawl delay and sitemap URL.
- Select individual rules for specific search engines.
- Add private or low-value directories that should not be crawled.
- Copy or download the generated file and upload it to your website root.
Important robots.txt best practices
Keep the file simple, test important rules, and never use robots.txt to protect passwords or confidential information. To prevent a page from appearing in search results, use a noindex directive instead. Always check that your CSS, JavaScript, and public content remain crawlable.
Frequently asked questions
Where should robots.txt be located?
It must be available directly at yourdomain.com/robots.txt.
Can robots.txt remove a page from Google?
No. It controls crawling. Use noindex or a search-engine removal tool when appropriate.
Do I need an API key?
No. This generator runs in your browser and does not send your configuration to an external AI service.
