Add Custom Crawlers

Define rules for specific search bots (e.g. Googlebot, Bingbot, or AI web crawlers).

3

Specify Disallow Paths

List directories you want search engines to ignore (such as /admin or /tmp).

4

Add Sitemap Link

Paste the sitemap XML URL to help search bots find your content indexes, then download the robots.txt file.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a robots.txt file?
A robots.txt file is a text document placed in your website's root directory that tells web crawlers (like Googlebot) which pages or folders they should or should not crawl.
Does robots.txt protect private data from being accessed?
No. The directives are public rules and rely on cooperative search crawlers. Malicious bots or scrapers ignore robots.txt directives, so you must use server passwords to protect sensitive files.
Are my configuration options uploaded to any servers?
No. The configuration matches and formats locally inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. No information is transmitted.
