robots.txt
The Robots.txt Generator helps you control how search engine crawlers access your site. Build user-agent rules, allow or disallow specific paths, add a crawl delay and link to your sitemap — then download a valid robots.txt ready to upload.

Frequently asked questions
Where does robots.txt go?+
It must live at the root of your domain — https://yourdomain.com/robots.txt. Search engines check that exact path.
Does robots.txt block pages from being indexed?+
Not directly. It controls crawling, not indexing. To prevent indexing, use a noindex meta tag or X-Robots-Tag header on the page itself.
Should I disallow my admin pages?+
You can, but remember that robots.txt is public — sensitive paths should be protected by authentication, not just disallowed.
Is this tool free?+
Yes — free, no sign-up, runs entirely in your browser.
