Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I upload the robots.txt file?
It must be placed in the root directory of your website (e.g.,
https://www.yourdomain.com/robots.txt).Does robots.txt hide pages from users?
No, robots.txt is only a directive for crawlers. Users can still access blocked pages if they have the URL. Use password protection for real security.
Is the sitemap URL necessary?
It is highly recommended as it acts as a roadmap for search engines to find all your important pages quickly.
