Whether you're managing a blog, eCommerce site, or enterprise platform, CodeTap’s Robots.txt Generator makes it easy to build a compliant and effective robots.txt file for better control and SEO performance.
A robots.txt file is a text file placed at the root of your website that tells search engine crawlers (like Googlebot) which pages or directories to crawl or avoid. It's an important part of SEO and website control.
Yes, but use with caution. Blocking pages in robots.txt prevents crawling, not indexing. If a URL is linked elsewhere, it might still appear in search results without content.
You can easily:
Allow or disallow specific folders or pages
Specify user agents (like Googlebot, Bingbot, etc.)
Add Sitemap: and Crawl-delay directives
Prevent access to admin areas, search pages, or duplicate content
Upload the generated robots.txt to the root directory of your website (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/robots.txt). Search engines will automatically look for it there.
