    Robots.txt is used primarily to manage crawler traffic to your site, and occasionally to keep a page off Google, depending on the file type.

    Robots Exclusion Standard

    "Robots.txt" is a standard used by websites to communicate with web crawlers and other web robots. The standard specifies how to inform the web robot about which areas of the website should not be processed or scanned.

    It also tells web robots which pages not to crawl. The slash after “Disallow” tells the robot to not visit any pages on the site.

    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 is a text 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 placed in the root directory of your site's folder. It instructs which page to exclude for indexing.
