A robots.txt shows which pages or files the Googlebot can or can't request from a website. Webmasters usually use this method to avoid overloading the website with requests.

Robots.txt file is at the root of the website that involves sectors of your website you don’t want to be attained by search engine crawlers. Webmasters use a robot.txt file to instruct the search engine robots on how to crawl & index the web pages.

Robots.txt files control crawler access to certain areas of your site. While this can be very dangerous if you accidentally disallow Googlebot from crawling your entire site (!!), there are some situations in which a robots.txt file can be very handy.

Some common use cases include:

Preventing duplicate content from appearing in SERPs (note that meta robots is often a better choice for this)
Keeping entire sections of a website private (for instance, your engineering team’s staging site)
Keeping internal search results pages from showing up on a public SERP
Specifying the location of sitemap(s)
Preventing search engines from indexing certain files on your website (images, PDFs, etc.)
Specifying a crawl delay in order to prevent your servers from being overloaded when crawlers load multiple pieces of content at once

Robots. txt is a text (not html) file you put on your site to tell search robots which pages you would like them not to visit. Robots. txt is by no means mandatory for search engines but generally search engines obey what they are asked not to do.

Robots.txt is a text file webmasters create to instruct web robots (typically search engine robots) how to crawl pages on their website.

User-agent: [user-agent name]Disallow:

Example robots.txt:

Blocking all web crawlers from all content
User-agent: * Disallow: /
Using this syntax in a robots.txt file would tell all web crawlers not to crawl any pages on [url]www.example.com, including the homepage.

Allowing all web crawlers access to all content
User-agent: * Disallow:
Using this syntax in a robots.txt file tells web crawlers to crawl all pages on www.example.com, including the homepage.

Blocking a specific web crawler from a specific folder
User-agent: Googlebot Disallow: /example-subfolder/
