How to use the robots.txt builder.

01

Add the requested inputs

Use the labelled fields in the workspace above. If example values are provided, try them first or replace them with your own.

02

Calculate and review

Use the main action when needed. Each entered path is validated and written as a directive under one user-agent group, followed by optional delay and sitemap lines.

03

Try a worked example

Allow a public asset path, disallow an internal search path and add the full sitemap URL for a chosen user-agent.

04

Check the assumptions

Crawler support and rule precedence vary. Robots.txt is public, does not secure private content and does not reliably remove indexed URLs.
