About robots.txt Generator
A robots.txt file tells search engine crawlers which parts of your site to skip. With AI crawlers now a factor, many sites also manage GPTBot, ClaudeBot and similar agents — this tool has those rules ready to toggle.

Frequently asked questions
Does robots.txt prevent access to a page?
No, and this misunderstanding is dangerous. The file is a polite request to crawlers; anyone can read it and see your disallowed paths. Use authentication for real protection.
Why is a page I blocked still in Google?
Blocking crawling is not the same as removing from the index. If other pages link to it, Google may index the URL without content. For true removal use a noindex tag — which requires the page not be blocked in robots.
Should I block AI crawlers?
It depends on your strategy. Blocking keeps your content out of training data, but also reduces how often your site surfaces inside AI assistant answers.
