Robots.txt Generator Notes for SEO Basics

Robots.txt controls crawling, not guaranteed indexing, so pair it with careful launch review.

Place robots.txt at the root

For https://example.com/, the file should be available at https://example.com/robots.txt.

Use absolute Sitemap URLs

Sitemap lines should use fully qualified URLs so crawlers do not have to infer host variants.

Test after upload

After using the Robots.txt Generator, open the final URL in a private browser and validate it in search engine tools.

Robots.txt Generator FAQ

Common questions about robots.txt rules, Crawl-delay, and sitemap lines.

Does robots.txt remove a page from search results?

No. robots.txt controls crawling. A blocked URL may still appear if search engines discover it elsewhere, so use noindex or removal tools when you need indexing control.

Does Google support Crawl-delay?

No. Google documents User-agent, Allow, Disallow, and Sitemap support, and notes that unsupported fields such as Crawl-delay are ignored.

Where should I upload the generated file?

Upload robots.txt to the root of the host it applies to, such as https://example.com/robots.txt.

Can I add more than one Sitemap line?

Yes. The Robots.txt Generator accepts multiple sitemap URLs, one per line, and outputs separate Sitemap directives.
