Robots.txt Best Practices

πŸ“

Always at Root

robots.txt must be at the root domain: example.com/robots.txt. Subdirectory files are ignored by crawlers.

πŸ€–

Block AI Crawlers

Use specific User-agent directives for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and others to prevent AI training on your content.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Include Sitemap

Always add a Sitemap directive pointing to your XML sitemap. This helps search engines discover your pages.

⚑

Crawl-delay

Use Crawl-delay to slow aggressive bots. Note: Googlebot ignores Crawl-delay β€” use Search Console instead.
