Frequently Asked Questions

What is robots.txt?

robots.txt is a text file placed at the root of your site that tells search engine crawlers which pages they may or may not visit. It is a suggestion, not an access control.

What is a User-agent?

It identifies which crawler the rule applies to. An asterisk (*) applies to all crawlers. You can target specific bots like Googlebot or Bingbot with separate rules.

Does robots.txt block access?

No. It only tells well-behaved crawlers what to avoid. Anyone can still visit a disallowed URL directly. To truly block access, use authentication or noindex directives.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. The file is generated in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
