Frequently Asked Questions
What is a robots.txt file?
A robots.txt file is a plain text file placed at the root of your website that tells web crawlers and spiders which pages or sections they can or cannot access. It follows the Robots Exclusion Protocol standard.
Why do I need a robots.txt file?
A robots.txt file helps you control how search engines crawl your website. It prevents crawlers from accessing private or irrelevant pages, saves crawl budget for important pages, and can prevent server overload from excessive bot traffic.
What is the difference between Allow and Disallow?
Disallow tells crawlers not to access a specific path, while Allow explicitly permits access. When using "Disallow all" as default, you use Allow to whitelist specific paths. When using "Allow all" as default, you use Disallow to blacklist specific paths.
What are common robots.txt mistakes?
Common mistakes include: blocking CSS/JS files (preventing proper rendering), blocking the entire site accidentally, using absolute URLs instead of paths, placing it in the wrong directory, and forgetting to reference your sitemap.
How do I test my robots.txt file?
You can test your robots.txt using Google Search Console's robots.txt Tester tool, Bing Webmaster Tools, or by simply placing the file at your site root and checking if crawlers follow the rules. Many SEO tools also offer robots.txt validation.
Does robots.txt affect SEO rankings?
Indirectly, yes. While robots.txt itself is not a ranking factor, it controls which pages get crawled and indexed. Blocking important pages can hurt rankings, while properly directing crawlers to your best content can improve your overall SEO performance.
