What Is a robots.txt Generator?

robots.txt is a polite request to crawlers: stay out of these paths, focus on these others. Major search engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo) respect it; aggressive scrapers do not. The format is simple but order-sensitive, and the matching rules apply per user-agent.

This generator builds one or more user-agent blocks (specific bots like `Googlebot`, or `*` for all), with Disallow patterns (paths to skip), Allow patterns (exceptions inside Disallowed areas), and an optional Sitemap line pointing crawlers at your `sitemap.xml`. The output is ready to save as `robots.txt` at your site root or paste into a CMS that manages the file.
