Frequently Asked Questions

What is a robots.txt file?
Robots.txt is a text file placed in your website root that tells search engine crawlers which pages they can or cannot access and index.
Where should robots.txt be placed?
Robots.txt must be placed in the root directory of your website (e.g., https://yoursite.com/robots.txt) to be recognized by search engines.
Can robots.txt prevent indexing?
Robots.txt prevents crawling, but pages may still be indexed if linked from other sites. Use the noindex meta tag to prevent indexing entirely.
What is crawl delay?
Crawl delay specifies the number of seconds a crawler should wait between requests. This helps prevent server overload from aggressive crawling.
What user-agents should I use?
Use * for all crawlers, Googlebot for Google, Bingbot for Bing, and specific user-agents for other search engines or crawlers.
