How to use the Robots.txt Generator

The Robots.txt Generator creates a plain-text crawler instruction file for your website. Choose a user-agent, add Allow or Disallow rules, include your sitemap URL and download the finished file.

Upload the generated file to the root directory of your website so it is available at yourdomain.com/robots.txt. Review every blocked path carefully before publishing because an incorrect rule can stop search engines from crawling important pages.
