Robots.txt Generator
Generate a simple robots.txt with crawl rules and a sitemap reference. Crawl blocking is not a reliable way to remove indexed pages.
What this tool does
Generate a simple User-agent: * group with optional disallow paths and a sitemap URL. The file is plain text and can be reviewed before deployment.
How to use it
Enter paths beginning with /. Optionally add an absolute sitemap URL. Generate and review the file. Publish at the origin root and test intended paths.
Why it matters
Crawl rules can reduce unwanted fetching, but they do not protect confidential content.
Example
Disallow: /private/ requests that cooperating crawlers avoid that path. Disallow: / requests that they avoid the entire site.
Understanding the result
An empty Disallow value allows crawling for this group. Other groups or server behavior can change the overall outcome.
Limitations
No full rule parser or live crawl test is included. A blocked URL may still appear in search; use suitable indexing controls and authentication for their respective purposes.
Frequently asked questions
Does this guarantee search visibility?
No. This tool reviews the supplied evidence. Search engines and AI systems make independent selection decisions.
Is my input stored?
