Concept

Robots.txt sets crawler scope, not access security

Robots.txt is a request file that tells crawlers which pages or directories they can access and how they should crawl.

Use User-agent, Disallow, Allow, and Sitemap directives to create crawler scenarios such as allow search bots, block selected AI bots, or expose public and private path boundaries.

For example, keep a global allow policy, set /admin as Disallow for all bots, and add your sitemap URL so search engines can discover valid indexes.

When to use it

Publish it when rollout changes public URL ranges, when bots need different access levels, or when sitemap paths must be explicitly exposed.

Typical scenarios

Combine allow/disallow rules by bot type, then output a file that maps expected crawler behavior before deployment.

Implementation guardrail

Robots.txt is advisory for crawl behavior; it does not replace access control and should not be used as a security boundary.

Keep in mind: noindex, authentication, and server-level permission controls are separate mechanisms from robots.txt. A crawler may ignore guidance, and robots.txt alone does not guarantee deindexing.

How to use

  1. 1 Choose the global allow or disallow rule.
  2. 2 Select search engine, regional, and AI bot entries.
  3. 3 Enter the sitemap URL, then copy or download the generated robots.txt file.

Common use cases

  • Search crawler allow rules
  • AI bot access restrictions
  • robots.txt files with sitemap URLs

Frequently asked questions

What rules can I create?

You can choose a global allow or disallow rule, then configure User-agent rules for search engine bots and AI crawlers with checkboxes. You can also add a sitemap URL.

Can I save the result as robots.txt?

Yes. You can copy the generated content or download it as robots.txt.

Does robots.txt guarantee access blocking?

No. robots.txt is a request rule for crawlers, not a security access control. Use authentication or server configuration to protect sensitive content.
