Hello friends,

What is the limit of a robot.txt file?

there is a limit to robots.txt file in terms of filesize 500 KB as Vipin points out. > A maximum file size may be enforced per crawler. Content which is after the maximum file size may be ignored. Google currently enforces a size limit .

Despite of implementing Robots.txt, there are chances that the blocked page is crawled and indexed by Google.

Google currently enforces a robots. txt file size limit of 500 kibibytes (KiB). Content which is after the maximum file size is ignored. You can reduce the size of the robots.
