About This Tool

The Robots.txt Generator lets you create a robots.txt file using a visual editor — no manual syntax required. Select which search engine bots your rules apply to, add Allow/Disallow path rules, set a crawl delay, and include your sitemap URL. Use the preset configurations for common scenarios like blocking admin pages or allowing all crawlers.

How to Use

  1. Select which user-agents (Googlebot, Bingbot, or * for all bots) your rules will apply to.
  2. Click "Add Rule" to create Allow or Disallow path rules (e.g., /admin/, /private/).
  3. Optionally set a crawl-delay in seconds or add your sitemap URL for search engines.
  4. Click "Generate" to produce the robots.txt content, then copy it and upload to your site's root directory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is robots.txt?

Robots.txt is a standard text file placed in a website's root directory that gives instructions to web crawlers and bots about which pages or sections they can or cannot access. It's a set of rules for search engine indexing.

Where do I put the robots.txt file?

The robots.txt file must be placed at the root of your website: https://example.com/robots.txt. It must be accessible via HTTP and not via JavaScript or other redirects.

Is robots.txt enforceable?

No — robots.txt is an honor system. Well-behaved bots (Google, Bing, etc.) respect it, but malicious scrapers can ignore it. Never rely on robots.txt for security; use authentication or blocking at the server level for private content.

How can I test my robots.txt?

Use Google Search Console's robots.txt Tester tool, Bing's Robots.txt Validator, or online validators to check syntax and see how Googlebot interprets your rules before deploying.
