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

What is robots.txt?

Hello,

"A robots. txt file tells search engine crawlers which URLs the crawler can access on your site. This is used mainly to avoid overloading your site with requests; it is not a mechanism for keeping a web page out of Google. To keep a web page out of Google, block indexing with no index or password-protect the page."

What is robots.txt?

Hello,

"A robots.txt file tells search engine crawlers which URLs the crawler can access on your site. This is used mainly to avoid overloading your site. The robots.txt file controls which pages are accessed. The robots meta tag controls whether a page is indexed, but to see this tag the page. If a bot comes to your website and it doesn't have one, it will just crawl your website and index pages as it normally would. txt file is only needed if you want to have more control over what is being crawled."

Hello Freinds,

Robot.txt is a text file which is used to block the Search Engine crawlers from crawling on the website.

A crawler is a program that visits Web sites and reads their pages and other information in order to create entries for a search engine index.
The major search engines on the Web all have such a program, which is also known as a "spider" or a "bot."

To find information on the hundreds of millions of Web pages that exist, a search engine employs special software robots, called spiders, to build lists of the words found on Web sites.

When a spider is building its lists, the process is called Web crawling.

A robot. The txt file tells search engine crawlers which URLs can be accessed on your website. This is mainly used to prevent your site from being overloaded by requests; it is not a mechanism to exclude pages from Google.
