Frequently Asked Questions

Should every site use robots.txt?
Yes. Even a simple robots.txt file helps crawlers understand what to skip and where to find your sitemap.
What is crawl-delay?
Crawl-delay tells specific bots to wait a certain number of seconds between requests. It is optional and not supported by every crawler.
Can I block entire file types?
Yes. Use patterns such as /*.pdf$ or /*.zip$ in a Disallow rule to prevent bots from crawling specific file extensions.
Do Allow rules override Disallow?
Allow rules take precedence when a path matches both directives. Place the Allow first to make the intent clear.
Where should I place robots.txt?
Always serve robots.txt from the root of your domain, e.g., https://example.com/robots.txt, so crawlers can discover it automatically.
