SEOSitemapCrawler rules

Important

Robots.txt gives crawler instructions but does not secure private files. Protect sensitive content with server access controls.

Location

Upload the file at the root of your domain, such as example.com/robots.txt.

Who Uses This Tool

Use it to point crawlers to your sitemap, block admin or private folders, and document crawler preferences for a website.

Privacy and Limitations

Robots.txt is public and advisory. Do not use it to hide sensitive URLs because anyone can read the file.

Helpful FAQ

Can robots.txt remove a page from Google?

Not reliably. Robots.txt controls crawling. Use noindex on accessible pages when you need removal from search results.

Should I include my sitemap in robots.txt?

Yes. A Sitemap line helps crawlers discover your XML sitemap location.

Can a bad robots.txt block my whole site?

Yes. A broad Disallow rule can prevent crawling of important pages, so review rules carefully.

Robots.txt Review Notes

Robots.txt gives crawler instructions, but it does not secure private content. Anything sensitive should be protected with authentication or server access rules. Use robots.txt to guide crawlers away from admin paths, duplicate pages, staging folders, or low-value generated URLs.

Before publishing, confirm that important public pages are not accidentally disallowed. A misplaced slash or broad rule can block search engines from the parts of the site you want indexed.

After upload, test the live file at yourdomain.com/robots.txt and submit the sitemap in Google Search Console. Keep comments short and rules easy to review later.
