Hello friends,

What is the limit of a robot.txt file?

There is limit of 500KB of the robot.txt file. You can ask your web hosting provider to upload it under your control panel (root directory of the website) and webmaster will pick it automatically.

If you have access then you can upload it from your end.

I am think that there is no limit but while searching on Google I found one article- in this John Mueller said "Google has a limit of only being able to process up to 500KB of your robots.txt file".

Robots.txt max size is 500KB. As stated on Google's Robots.txt Specifications page, “A maximum file size may be enforced per crawler. Content which is after the maximum file size may be ignored. Google currently enforces a size limit of 500 kilobytes (KB).”

Robots.txt is a text file webmasters create to instruct web robots (typically search engine robots) how to crawl pages on their website. The robots.txt file is part of the the robots exclusion protocol (REP), a group of web standards that regulate how robots crawl the web, access and index content, and serve that content up to users.
