Frequently Asked Questions

1. Where should robots.txt be placed?

It must be saved at the root of your domain, e.g. yoursite.com/robots.txt, for search engines to find it.

2. Does robots.txt guarantee pages stay out of Google?

No — it requests that crawlers not access certain paths, but doesn't prevent indexing of URLs discovered elsewhere. Use a noindex meta tag for that instead.

3. What is crawl-delay for?

It asks crawlers to wait a specified number of seconds between requests, which can reduce server load, though not all crawlers respect it.
