    Web site owners use the /robots.txt file to give instructions about their site to web robots; this is called The Robots Exclusion Protocol. The "User-agent: *" means this section applies to all robots. The "Disallow: /" tells the robot that it should not visit any pages on the site.

    By robot.txt file you can prevent search engines from not crawling and indexing a webpage of your site that you do not like it to be indexed by a search engine. It is actually a search engine directive file.

    Robots.txt is a standard used by websites to communicate with web crawlers and other web robots. Robots.txt file is used to control what content search engines are allowed to access on your site. This is great for controlling duplicate content and for directing your crawl budget to your most important pages.

    Based on my knowledge, robot.txt is like a blocker which will tell a particular search engine bot (in this case is Google bot) not to crawl into a particular page we don't want it to get in. It can be a good way to keep the bot from indexing some pages or links we don't want to index. However, since it only blocks the bot while the actual links still appear like normal, we can't use robot.txt as a way to "conceal" a site from other people.

    Robots.txt file is a text file for restricting bots (robots, search engine crawlers ) from a website or certain pages on the website. Using a robots.txt file and with a disallow direction, we can restrict bots or search engine crawling program from websites and or from certain folders and files.

    In a nutshell. Web site owners use the /robots.txt file to give instructions about their site to web robots; this is called The Robots Exclusion Protocol. The "User-agent: *" means this section applies to all robots. The "Disallow: /" tells the robot that it should not visit any pages on the site.
