🤖 Robots.txt Generator

The robots.txt file is a simple text file that sits in your website root and tells search engines and web crawlers which pages they can and cannot access. While invisible to website visitors, it's critical for managing how search engines crawl your site. The Robots.txt Generator allows you to build a valid robots.txt file visually without writing code. The traditional approach requires understanding robots.txt syntax and manually editing the file, which is error-prone. This tool provides an intuitive interface where you select which user agents to target (Google, Bing, Baidu, etc.) and which directories or file types to allow or disallow. The generator handles all the technical syntax automatically. One particularly important feature is the ability to block AI bots like GPTBot (OpenAI's crawler), ClaudeBot (Anthropic's crawler), and PerplexityBot, which many website owners want to exclude from indexing their content. You can block these bots selectively without affecting search engines. The tool also handles common CMS configurations with presets for WordPress, Shopify, Drupal, and other platforms, automatically generating appropriate rules for those systems. The generated robots.txt is production-ready and can be copied directly to your website. Proper robots.txt configuration can reduce crawl waste (where bots waste time on pages you don't need indexed), improve crawl efficiency, and protect sensitive directories from being indexed or accessed.
