About the robots.txt generator
How this tool works
Robots.txt setup is usually small, but it is easy to make mistakes when paths, allow rules, and sitemap hints are scattered across docs or old snippets.
This tool keeps that workflow structured so you can produce a clean starter file for launches, audits, or client handoff.
Where it is useful
It is especially useful during site setup, migrations, and staging reviews where indexing rules still change quickly.
Because it uses the shared form-and-result widget, it can stay simple without needing route-specific page logic.
- Draft crawler rules for a new site or staging environment.
- Create a cleaner handoff file for a client or content team.
- Review allow and disallow paths before deployment.

FAQ
3 answersWhy would I generate a robots.txt file?
Use it when you want search engines to avoid internal paths like search results, admin areas, or private utility routes.
Does robots.txt protect private content?
No. Robots.txt is a crawler hint, not an access-control system. Sensitive content still needs real authentication.
Should I include the sitemap URL in robots.txt?
Yes. Adding the sitemap line gives crawlers a direct pointer to the URLs you do want indexed.
