About Robots.txt Generator

Build a complete, valid robots.txt file without writing a single line manually. Select which bots to configure, add Allow and Disallow rules per bot, set crawl-delay, and include your sitemap automatically. Quick presets let you allow all engines, block admin folders, login pages or private directories in one click. A live SEO score (0–100) validates your configuration for duplicates, conflicting rules and missing directives as you type.
