Quick Tool Overview
The All Free Tool's Robots.txt Generator helps you create a robots.txt file for your website by selecting crawler access rules and entering relevant website information.
You can specify which areas of your website should be allowed or disallowed for crawlers and optionally add your sitemap URL to the generated file.
A robots.txt file should be configured carefully because incorrect directives can affect how automated crawlers access parts of your website.
About the Robots.txt Generator
What Is a Robots.txt File?
A robots.txt file is a text file placed at the root of a website that provides instructions to automated crawlers about which URLs or paths they may or may not access.
What Is User-agent?
The User-agent directive identifies which crawler or group of crawlers a set of robots.txt rules applies to. Rules can be written for specific user agents or broader crawler groups.
Allow and Disallow Directives
Allow and Disallow directives can be used to describe which paths crawlers may access. The exact behavior can depend on the crawler and how it interprets the rules.
How the Robots.txt Generator Works
Enter your website information, choose the crawler access settings you need, and provide your sitemap URL when applicable. The generator then creates the corresponding robots.txt text for you to review.
Robots.txt and SEO
Robots.txt can help manage crawler access, but it is not a general replacement for other SEO controls. A robots.txt directive does not by itself guarantee that a URL will be removed from search results.
