Robots.txt Best Practices

Follow these best practices to optimize your website's robots.txt for search engines:

Key Directives:

  • User-agent: * applies to all crawlers
  • Disallow: blocks access to paths
  • Allow: explicitly allows access (even to disallowed directories)
  • Sitemap: helps search engines find your content
  • Crawl-delay: controls how frequently crawlers visit
  • Place robots.txt in your site's root directory (e.g., https://yoursite.com/robots.txt )
Example: User-agent: *
Disallow: /admin/
Allow: /public/
Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml

Note: Properly configured robots.txt files help search engines crawl your site more efficiently and protect sensitive areas from being indexed. Always test your robots.txt using search engine tools.
