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: [URL string not to be crawled]

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 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/
