Robots.txt Generator

Build a valid robots.txt from checkboxes, with per-bot rules and the sitemap directive already in place.

Paths, not URLs. Start each with a slash.

Nothing you type here is uploaded, stored or sent anywhere. It all runs in your browser.

What robots.txt does and does not do

  • It is not a security control. The file is public. Listing /admin tells everyone where your admin is.
  • Disallow is not noindex. A blocked page can still be indexed from external links — it just gets indexed with no description. To keep something out of the index, let it be crawled and serve noindex.
  • Never block CSS or JS. Google renders pages; blocking assets makes your site look broken to it.
  • It lives at the root only. /robots.txt, nowhere else, one per subdomain.

Technical SEO in order but rankings flat?

At some point the missing ingredient is authority, not crawl rules.
