How to Install Your robots.txt File

  1. Download: Click the "Download" button above to save the robots.txt file to your computer.
  2. Upload: Upload this file to the root directory of your website.
  3. Verify: It should be accessible at https://your-domain.com/robots.txt.

Why is robots.txt Important?

The robots.txt file is the first thing search engine bots (like Googlebot) look for when visiting your site. It acts as a gatekeeper, telling them which pages they are allowed to scan and which they should ignore.

  • SEO Optimization: Prevents search engines from wasting "crawl budget" on unimportant pages (like admin panels or temporary files).
  • Privacy: Keeps private or duplicate content out of search results.
  • Server Load: Reduces unnecessary traffic from bots scanning irrelevant parts of your site.

Why Use This Generator?

Our Advanced Robots.txt Generator is designed for modern SEO needs. Unlike basic text editors, we provide:

  • Smart Sitemap Scanning: Instantly import paths from your existing sitemap to avoid manual typing errors.
  • Live Validation: Verify if your live site already has a robots.txt and check its status code.
  • Custom Bot Support: Easily add rules for specific bots like GPTBot, CCBot (Common Crawl), or social media crawlers.
