robots.txt online generator

What is a robots.txt file?

• robots.txt (all lowercase) is a text file located in a website's root directory, typically informing web crawlers (also known as web spiders) which content on the site should not be indexed by search engines and what can be accessed.
• Due to case sensitivity in some system URLs, the robots.txt filename should be in lowercase. The robots.txt file should be placed in the root directory of the website.
• If you want to define the behavior of a search engine's crawler for accessing subdirectories, you can merge custom settings into the root directory's robots.txt, or use robots metadata.
• The robots.txt protocol is not a standard but a convention, so it cannot guarantee website privacy. Note that robots.txt uses string comparison to determine whether to access a URL, so whether there is a slash “/” at the end of the directory indicates different URLs. robots.txt allows the use of wildcards like "Disallow: *.gif".
• The Robots Exclusion Protocol is a moral code in the international Internet community, established based on the following principles: 1. Search technology should serve humanity, respect the intentions of information providers, and protect their privacy; 2. Websites have the obligation to protect their users' personal information and privacy from being violated.
