Robots.txt Generator

Tell search engines what to crawl. Pick your rules and get a clean, ready-to-upload robots.txt you can copy or download.

robots.txt
…

A robots.txt file sits at the root of your domain and tells search engine crawlers which parts of your site they may and may not crawl. Get it wrong and you can accidentally hide your whole site, or expose pages you meant to keep quiet. This free generator builds a valid robots.txt from simple inputs, ready to copy or download.

How it works

1

Set the user-agent

Use * for all crawlers, or name a specific bot.

2

Add allow and disallow paths

List the folders to block (admin, checkout) and any to explicitly allow.

3

Add your sitemap and download

Point crawlers to your sitemap, then copy or download the file.

Frequently asked questions

Where does robots.txt go?

At the root of your domain, so it lives at example.com/robots.txt. Crawlers look there automatically; it will not work in a subfolder.

Does Disallow stop a page being indexed?

Not exactly. Disallow tells crawlers not to crawl a path, but a blocked URL can still appear in results if other sites link to it. To keep a page out of the index, use a noindex meta tag instead.

Do I need a robots.txt at all?

Small sites often do not, search engines crawl them fine by default. It is useful for steering crawlers away from admin or duplicate pages and for pointing to your sitemap. On Klairova your sites are crawlable by default with sitemaps handled for you.
