What is the Robots.txt Generator?
Visually build and validate robots.txt files with advanced rules and sitemap integration. Built for optimal performance, this tool executes client-side directly in your browser without uploading your sensitive data to external servers.
How to use the Robots.txt Generator
- Specify your website's sitemap URL and default user-agent crawl policy (Allow All or Disallow All).
- Add custom rules for specific web crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot, Applebot, GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.).
- Add paths you want protected from indexing (e.g. `/admin`, `/api/`, `/checkout`).
- Copy your generated `robots.txt` configuration and upload it to the root of your web domain.
Example: Standard Robots.txt with Sitemap and Disallowed Admin
Sitemap: https://ezziwebtools.com/sitemap.xml | Disallow: /admin, /api/
User-agent: * Allow: / Disallow: /admin/ Disallow: /api/ Sitemap: https://ezziwebtools.com/sitemap.xml
Guides search engine crawlers to index your public content while blocking internal APIs and admin interfaces.
Technical Guide & Privacy Assurance
Remember that `robots.txt` is a public directive, not a security firewall. Never list confidential URLs in `robots.txt`, as anyone can view the file at `domain.com/robots.txt`.
