Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Where should I place the robots.txt file?
It must be placed in the root directory of your website (e.g., yoursite.com/robots.txt). If it's in a subfolder, search engines won't find it.
Can robots.txt stop hackers?
No. It only blocks well-behaved search engine bots. Malicious bots will ignore the file, so never use it as your only security measure for admin pages.
About the Robots.txt Generator
The robots.txt file is a simple text file placed in the root of your website that tells search engine crawlers (like Googlebot) which pages they can or cannot crawl. It is essential for preventing the indexing of private areas (like admin panels) and managing server resources. Recently, it has also become the standard for blocking AI crawlers from scraping your content to train language models.
Our generator allows you to visually configure these rules without memorizing the syntax. Simply check the boxes for the bots you want to block, specify your admin path, and enter your sitemap URL. The tool instantly generates the correct plain text code to copy into your file.
