Questions
Robots.txt Generator FAQ
Does robots.txt prevent indexing?
Not reliably. It controls crawling, while a noindex directive on an accessible page controls indexing. A blocked URL can still appear without a snippet.
Where should robots.txt be placed?
Serve it as a plain-text file at the root of the hostname, such as https://example.com/robots.txt.
