What is robots.txt?

The robots.txt file is a text file placed in your website's root directory that tells search engine crawlers which pages or sections of your site they can or cannot access. It's part of the Robots Exclusion Protocol (REP), a group of web standards that regulate how robots crawl the web.

A properly configured robots.txt file helps you manage crawler traffic, prevent indexing of duplicate content, keep private sections of your site out of search results, and optimize your crawl budget for better SEO performance.
