Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Robots.txt Generator free?
Yes, ApexSofteck Tools's Robots.txt Generator is completely free. Generate unlimited robots.txt files without any registration required.
What is a robots.txt file?
robots.txt is a text file that tells search engine crawlers which pages or files they can or cannot request from your site. It's placed in your website's root directory.
What's the difference between Allow and Disallow?
Disallow prevents bots from crawling specific paths. Allow explicitly permits crawling (useful when you want to allow a subdirectory of a disallowed parent directory).
Do I need a sitemap in robots.txt?
Including your sitemap URL in robots.txt helps search engines discover all your pages more efficiently. It's recommended but not required.
Is robots.txt secure?
robots.txt is a suggestion, not a security measure. It doesn't prevent malicious bots from accessing your content. Use proper authentication for sensitive areas.
