Frequently asked questions

Is robots.txt a security control?

No. Compliant crawlers may follow it, but the listed URLs remain public. Protect private content with authentication and authorization.

Can robots.txt remove a page from search results?

Not reliably. Blocking crawling is different from controlling indexing. Use an appropriate noindex directive on accessible pages when indexing must be prevented.

Where should the generated file go?

Publish it as robots.txt at the root of the relevant host, then test the final live URL.
