What is a robots.txt file?

A robots.txt file is used to instruct web crawlers (bots) on which parts of your website they are allowed to access and index.

Why should I use a robots.txt file?

A robots.txt file helps you control which pages or directories are crawled by search engines. It can improve SEO and prevent sensitive data from being indexed.

How do I allow or disallow paths?

You can specify paths in the 'Allow' or 'Disallow' fields. Use paths like /example to allow or block specific sections of your website.

What is a sitemap URL, and should I include it?

A sitemap URL helps search engines understand your website's structure. Including it in your robots.txt file is recommended for better indexing.

Can I create rules for specific bots?

Yes, you can create rules for specific bots by specifying their user agent (e.g., Googlebot). Use * for global rules.
