1 Crawlers and rules

Each crawler follows only the most specific group that names it. A group for a named crawler does not inherit the rules of the * group. Crawlers differ in purpose; check each provider's documentation.

2 Sitemaps

Optional. Enter each sitemap as a full URL, for example https://example.com/sitemap.xml. Only the format is checked, not whether the sitemap exists.

    3 Your robots.txt

    Reset returns to the default file and cannot be undone.

    Checks

      About robots.txt

        4 Test a URL

        This is a local simulation. It does not test your live website.

        For example /private/page.html or https://example.com/blog/?page=2.
