Frequently Asked Questions
What if my site doesn't have a robots.txt?
Our tool will notify you. While it's not strictly required, having one is best practice for controlling how search engines crawl your site and saving your crawl budget.
Can I edit the file here?
Currently, we provide validation and sitemap viewing. You'll need to update the file on your server (usually via FTP or your CMS) once you identify issues.
What is crawl budget?
Crawl budget is the number of pages a search engine crawler will visit on your site in a given timeframe. Robots.txt helps prioritize the most important pages.
Does robots.txt hide pages from users?
No. Robots.txt only provides instructions to crawlers. If a page is blocked via robots.txt, it can still be accessed directly by a user if they have the link.
Is robots.txt a security feature?
Not really. It shouldn't be used to hide sensitive data, as the file itself is public. For security, use password protection or 'noindex' tags instead.
