Frequently Asked Questions

What is robots.txt?
robots.txt is a file in the root of a website that instructs web crawlers which pages or sections they can and cannot crawl.
Can blocking robots.txt hurt SEO?
Yes. If you accidentally disallow important pages, search engines won't index them. Always verify your robots.txt after changes.
Is robots.txt enforced?
It's a voluntary standard. Well-behaved bots like Googlebot respect it; malicious bots often ignore it.
