Robots.txt Best Practices
What is robots.txt?
Robots.txt is a file that tells search engine crawlers which pages or sections of your site they can or cannot crawl. It's placed in your website's root directory.
Does robots.txt block indexing?
No, robots.txt blocks crawling, not indexing. Use noindex meta tags to prevent pages from appearing in search results.
What is crawl delay?
Crawl delay tells bots how many seconds to wait between requests. Use this to reduce server load but be cautious as Google ignores crawl delay.
Where to place robots.txt?
Place robots.txt in your website's root directory (e.g., example.com/robots.txt). It must be accessible via HTTP.
