How to Configure Your Robots.txt File

A properly configured robots.txt file protects server bandwidth, prevents indexing of private administration areas, and guides search engine crawlers to your official XML sitemap.

Robots.txt Best Practices

Recommended Practices
  • Include `Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml` at the bottom of the file.
  • Use leading slashes for paths (`/admin/`).
  • Test your generated file using our Robots.txt Checker.
Critical Security Notice
  • robots.txt is not a security or access control mechanism.
  • Disallowing `/admin/` does not prevent web browsers from opening `/admin/`.
  • Use server authentication for confidential pages.
