Best Practices
- Place robots.txt in your website's root directory (e.g., example.com/robots.txt)
- Use Allow directives sparingly - by default all paths are allowed
- Crawl delays help prevent overloading your server
- Always include your sitemap location to help bots discover content
- Test your robots.txt with Google's robots.txt Tester
A single misplaced line in robots.txt, Disallow: / instead of a specific folder, can block every search engine from an entire site without any warning until traffic quietly drops off weeks later, and the file's simple-looking syntax, User-agent, Disallow, Allow, Sitemap, hides exactly how easy that mistake actually is to make by hand. This tool builds a robots.txt file through actual configuration options rather than typing directives from memory, letting specific crawlers be allowed or blocked for specific paths and a sitemap URL added without guessing at syntax.
