Robots.txt FAQ
Where do I put robots.txt?
Place robots.txt in the root of your website, accessible at https://yoursite.com/robots.txt. For Hostinger, upload to your public_html folder.
Does robots.txt affect SEO?
Yes. Blocking important pages can hurt rankings. Blocking admin, duplicate, or private pages is good practice. Never block CSS/JS files as Google needs them to render your pages.
Free Robots.txt Generator — Control How Search Engines Crawl Your Site
Generate a valid robots.txt file for your website in seconds — free and without any technical knowledge. Robots.txt tells search engine crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot, etc.) which pages they can and cannot access. A correctly configured robots.txt helps protect private pages and guides search engines to your most important content.
How to Generate a robots.txt File
- Select which crawlers you want to configure (All, Googlebot, Bingbot, etc.).
- Add disallow rules for any paths you want to block (e.g. /admin/, /private/).
- Add your sitemap URL for better crawl efficiency.
- Click "Generate", copy the file content, and upload it to your site root directory.
What to Block in robots.txt
- Always block: /admin/, /login/, /dashboard/, /wp-admin/ — keep these private.
- Consider blocking: /search?, /tag/, duplicate pages, and thin content pages that dilute SEO.
- Never block: Your main tool pages, blog posts, about page, or any page you want indexed by Google.
- Always include: Your sitemap URL so Google can find and crawl all important pages efficiently.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I upload my robots.txt file?
Upload it to the root of your domain — it must be accessible at yourdomain.com/robots.txt. In Hostinger, upload to the public_html folder.
Does blocking pages in robots.txt harm SEO?
Only if you accidentally block important pages. Block admin panels, login pages, and duplicate content — never block your main content pages, product pages, or blog posts. A misconfigured robots.txt is one of the most common causes of sudden traffic drops.
Is robots.txt the same as a noindex tag?
No. Robots.txt blocks crawlers from accessing a page, but a disallowed page can still appear in search results if other sites link to it. A noindex meta tag tells crawlers to not include the page in search results. Use both for complete control.
Does every website need a robots.txt file?
It is strongly recommended. Without one, all search engine crawlers will index everything on your site, including admin pages, duplicate content, and private areas you may not want indexed.
