Frequently Asked Questions
What is robots.txt and what does it do?
robots.txt is a text file at your website's root that tells search engine crawlers which pages to crawl or skip. It's the first file crawlers check before indexing your site.
Will robots.txt block pages from appearing on Google?
Robots.txt prevents crawling but not necessarily indexing. Google may still show a URL in results if other sites link to it. To fully block indexing, use a "noindex" meta tag instead.
Where do I put my robots.txt file?
Place it at your domain root: https://yourdomain.com/robots.txt. It must be at this exact location โ subdirectory placement won't work.
Should I block /admin or /api in robots.txt?
Blocking admin pages reduces unnecessary crawling but doesn't provide security. Never rely on robots.txt for access control โ use proper authentication instead. It's a public file anyone can read.
