About Robots.txt Files
The robots.txt file is a standard used by websites to communicate with web crawlers and other web robots. It tells search engine bots which pages or files they can or cannot request from your site. This file must be placed in your root directory (e.g., https://example.com/robots.txt) to be effective.
Key directives include User-agent (specifies which crawler the rules apply to, * means all crawlers), Disallow (tells crawlers not to access certain paths), Allow (overrides Disallow for specific paths), Sitemap (provides the location of your XML sitemap), and Crawl-delay (requests crawlers to wait between requests). Use robots.txt to protect sensitive areas like admin panels, but don't use it to hide pages from search results - use noindex meta tags instead.
