SEO Tools

Robots.txt Generator

Control what search engines crawl on your site.

What this tool does

robots.txt is the first file search engines check when they visit your site. It tells them what to crawl and what to skip. Use this generator to create a safe, valid robots.txt — with the right allows, disallows, and a pointer to your sitemap.

Why it matters

Robots.txt Generator saves you time and removes guesswork from everyday seo tools work. Prevents crawling of private or duplicate pages — and because everything runs in your browser, your data stays private and results are instant.

  • Prevents crawling of private or duplicate pages
  • Reduces server load from bot traffic
  • Tells search engines where your sitemap lives

How to use

  1. Add the paths you want to disallow.
  2. Optionally add your sitemap URL.
  3. Copy the result to /robots.txt at your domain root.

Example output

A clean, copy-ready robots.txt generator result you can paste straight into your site or CMS.

Real-world use cases

  • Hiding admin areas
  • Blocking staging environments
  • Limiting access to filtered product URLs

Tips & best practices

  • Never disallow your entire site by accident — 'Disallow: /' blocks everything
  • Test using Google Search Console's robots.txt tester
  • Sensitive pages should be password-protected, not just disallowed
