📖 Understanding robots.txt
What is robots.txt?
A file that tells search engine crawlers which pages or files to crawl and which to avoid. It helps manage crawl budget and protect sensitive areas.
User-agent
Specifies which crawler the rule applies to. "*" means all crawlers. You can target specific bots like Googlebot or Bingbot.
Disallow vs Allow
Disallow: Blocks crawlers from accessing specific paths.
Allow: Overrides disallow for specific paths within blocked directories.
Crawl Delay
Slows down crawlers to prevent server overload. Useful for sites with limited server resources.
ℹ️ Always test your robots.txt file in Google Search Console after implementation. Incorrect rules can unintentionally block important pages from being indexed.
