Common Questions About Robots.txt Toolkit
What happens if my robots.txt has a syntax error?
If search engines cannot parse your robots.txt due to malformed syntax, they may assume there are no restrictions and crawl private areas of your site, or alternatively, halt crawling entirely out of caution.
How do I block AI bots from scraping my site?
You can use the generator's AI-blocking template, which automatically outputs disallow directives for known AI crawlers like GPTBot, CCBot, and ClaudeBot, preventing them from using your content for LLM training.
Where do I upload the generated robots.txt file?
The file must be named 'robots.txt' and uploaded to the absolute root directory of your website domain (e.g., https://yourwebsite.com/robots.txt).
