What is a robots.txt file?
The robots.txt file is a text file that resides in the root directory of your website. It gives instructions to web robots (typically search engine crawlers) about which pages on your site they can or cannot crawl.
While it doesn't enforce access control (it's not a firewall), well-behaved bots like Googlebot comply with its directives. It is an essential tool for SEO to prevent crawling of duplicate content, admin pages, or resource-heavy scripts.
Key Directives
- User-agent: Specifies which crawler the rule applies to (e.g.,
*for all,Googlebotfor Google). - Disallow: Tells the crawler which URLs it should NOT visit.
- Allow: Explicitly allows crawling of a sub-path within a disallowed directory (supported by Google and Bing).
- Sitemap: Points crawlers to your XML sitemap for better indexing.
