The Ultimate Guide to Robots.txt

A comprehensive guide on how to configure your robots.txt file, use directives like Allow and Disallow, and optimize for search engines.

What is a robots.txt file?

It is a standard text file that tells search engine crawlers which pages on your site they can or cannot request. This helps manage crawl budget and prevents servers from being overloaded.

Core Directives

  • User-agent: The specific crawler the rules apply to.
  • Disallow: A URL string that should not be accessed.
  • Allow: A URL string that may be accessed (often used to override a parent Disallow rule).
  • Sitemap: The absolute URL of your XML sitemap.
