Robots.txt Guide
What is a robots.txt file?
The robots.txt file is a text file that is part of the Robots Exclusion Protocol (REP) and is used to tell search engine crawlers which pages or files they can or cannot request from your site.
Why is it important?
A well-configured robots.txt can:
- Prevent indexing of duplicate or sensitive content
- Optimize search engines' crawl budget
- Protect private areas of your site
- Indicate the location of your sitemap
Basic syntax
The most common directives are:
User-agent: Specifies which robot the rules apply toDisallow: Indicates which paths should not be crawledAllow: Indicates which paths can be crawled (overrides Disallow)Sitemap: Specifies the location of the XML sitemapCrawl-delay: Sets the delay between crawl requestsHost: Indicates the preferred domain (unofficial directive)
Best practices
- Use
User-agent: *to apply rules to all robots - Block only what's necessary to avoid limiting indexing
- Always include your sitemap
- Test your file in Google Search Console
- Don't use robots.txt to hide sensitive information (use authentication instead)
