Robots.txt Generator

What is the Robots.txt Generator?

Generate a robots.txt file with disallow rules and your sitemap location. A robots.txt file tells search engine crawlers which areas of a site they may crawl and where to find your sitemap.

How to use the Robots.txt Generator

1. Enter your user-agent, your disallow paths, your sitemap url.
2. Tick the options you need: block ai training crawlers (gptbot, ccbot, google-extended).
3. Results update automatically as you type; you can also press Calculate.
4. Read the output: robots.txt.
5. Use the 📊 chart to see the result visually, then copy or share it.

Formula and method

Where the Robots.txt Generator helps in real life

You launched a new website and need a clean robots.txt that points to your sitemap. The generator creates a valid file you can upload to the site root.

You want to keep crawlers out of an admin area and a staging folder. Adding disallow rules here keeps the syntax correct.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Blocking the whole site with “Disallow: /” by accident.
• Blocking CSS or JavaScript files that pages need.
• Using robots.txt to hide private information.
• Forgetting to include the sitemap line.

💡 Practical tip: robots.txt controls crawling, not indexing — use a noindex tag to keep a page out of search results.

Tips for better results

• Test the file in Google Search Console after uploading.
• Keep the rules short and simple.
• Add the full sitemap URL.
