Robots.txt Basics for Small Websites

Understand what robots.txt does and how to keep crawler rules simple.

A robots.txt file gives crawlers instructions about URL paths they may request. It is not a security mechanism.

Keep rules simple

Only block paths that genuinely should not be crawled.

Generate and review

Use the Robots.txt Generator, then review the directives before publishing.

Remember the sitemap

Keep your sitemap limited to canonical, indexable URLs you want discovered.
