What Is the Robots.txt File?
Robots.txt is a simple text file placed on a website that tells search engine crawlers which pages or sections they are allowed or not allowed to crawl.
Example of a robots.txt file
User-agent: *
Disallow: /admin/
Allow: /
This tells all search engines:
- ❌ Don’t crawl
/admin/ - ✅ Crawl everything else
What does Robots.txt do?
- Controls crawler access to your site
- Helps prevent search engines from crawling private or unimportant pages
- Can reduce crawl budget waste on large websites
What Robots.txt does not do:
- It does not hide pages from users
- It does not guarantee pages won’t appear in search results
- It does not secure sensitive data
How to find the Robots.txt file?
Usually the robots.txt file exists here: https://yourwebsite.com/robots.txt
