What Is a Robots.txt File?

A robots.txt file is a text file placed in the root directory of your website. It tells search engine crawlers which pages, folders, or files they are allowed or not allowed to access. Search engines such as Google, Bing, and other web crawlers check your robots.txt file before crawling your website. Proper configuration can help improve crawl efficiency and prevent indexing of unnecessary pages.
