Robots.txt Draft Tool
What this tool does
This tool helps you draft a robots.txt file for normal website crawling rules. It focuses on paths, user agents, sitemap discovery, and common WordPress considerations.
When to use this tool
Use it when launching a site, cleaning crawler rules, moving from staging to production, or checking whether a rule might block important public pages.
Real example
A WordPress tool site usually allows public pages and assets, disallows sensitive admin paths, allows admin-ajax.php when needed, and lists the Rank Math sitemap URL.
How to interpret the result
The result is plain text for robots.txt. Read every line before using it because a single Disallow rule can remove important pages from crawling.
Common mistakes
- Blocking /wp-content/ and accidentally hiding images, CSS, or scripts.
- Blocking the whole site with Disallow: / after launch.
- Forgetting to include the sitemap URL.
FAQ
Can robots.txt force Google to index a page?
No. It only gives crawling instructions. Indexing depends on page quality and discoverability.
Should I block thin pages with robots.txt?
Usually no. Use noindex for pages you do not want indexed. Robots.txt can prevent Google from seeing the noindex tag.
Where is robots.txt located?
It is normally available at the domain root, such as https://example.com/robots.txt.
Disclaimer
Robots.txt mistakes can affect crawling. Review changes carefully and test them in Google Search Console.
Practical usage notes
Robots.txt Generator is intended for practical publishing and cleanup work. Use it when a page, metadata draft, structured data item, URL, content brief, or text block needs to be made clearer before publication. A useful SEO or utility result should match the real page purpose and the user intent behind the query. Do not publish generated metadata, schema, or cleaned text without checking accuracy, formatting, and whether the page itself provides enough original value.
Before you use the result
- Check that the inputs are specific enough for this task.
- Review names, numbers, units, dates, links, and assumptions before copying the result.
- Use related tools and guides when the task is part of a larger workflow.
