Usage guide

Prepare crawler rules without accidentally blocking important pages

robots.txt controls crawling, not guaranteed indexing. A small syntax mistake can prevent search engines from fetching important sections, so generated rules should be reviewed against the exact paths used by the live site.

How to use Robots.txt Generator

1.List only the paths that crawlers genuinely do not need to fetch, such as private administration or duplicate crawl spaces.
2.Add the preferred sitemap URL so crawlers can discover the site's canonical page list.
3.Publish the file at the site root and test important URLs to confirm they remain crawlable.

Examples

An /admin/ section can be disallowed when it has no public search value.
A site can advertise https://example.com/sitemap.xml with a Sitemap directive.
A public calculator directory should normally remain allowed rather than being blocked to hide low-quality content.

Limitations and notes

robots.txt is not an access-control system; blocked URLs can still be known or referenced by search engines.
To prevent a public page from appearing in search, use an appropriate noindex directive on a crawlable page instead of relying on robots.txt alone.

Does Disallow remove a URL from Google?

Not necessarily. It stops Googlebot from crawling the path, but the URL can still be known from links. Use the appropriate indexing controls for pages that should not appear in search.

Can I put several sitemaps in robots.txt?

Yes. A site can include multiple Sitemap lines when it publishes several sitemap files or a sitemap index.
