Frequently Asked Questions

Expert answers on robots control and crawler behavior.

Can robots.txt stop a human from seeing a page?
No. Robots.txt is for automated crawlers only. Any human who knows the URL can still visit the page. For privacy, use password protection or Noindex tags.
Where should I place my robots.txt file?
It must be located in the root directory (e.g., example.com/robots.txt). If it is placed in a subdirectory, crawlers will ignore it.
Is it case-sensitive?
Yes. Directives and paths are case-sensitive. "Disallow: /Admin" is NOT the same as "Disallow: /admin". Always match your actual folder structure.
Is this tool free to use for commercial projects?
Yes, all our tools are free for both personal and commercial use. You can generate assets for your business, clients, or side projects without any licensing fees.
