The robots.txt file, also known as the robots exclusion protocol or standard, is a text file that tells web robots (most often search engines) which pages on your site to crawl. It also tells web robots which pages not to crawl. ... The slash after “Disallow” tells the robot to not visit any pages on the site.

The robots exclusion standard, also known as the robots exclusion protocol or simply robots.txt, is a standard used by websites to communicate with web crawlers and other web robots. The standard specifies how to inform the web robot about which areas of the website should not be processed or scanned.

Robots.txt" is a regular text file that through its name, has special meaning to the majority of "honorable" robots on the web. By defining a few rules in this text file, you can instruct robots to not crawl and index certain files, directories within your site, or at all.

What is robots.txt?

The robots.txt file is a text file, placed at the root of a website. It makes it possible to indicate to search engine robots areas not to explore: web pages or complete directories.

Robots.txt file is at the root of the website that involves sectors of your website you don’t want to be attained by search engine crawlers. Webmasters use a robot.txt file to instruct the search engine robots on how to crawl & index the web pages.
