Hello Everyone, Can anyone tell me What is the limit of a robot.txt file?

Ecozaar · 07-15-2018, 11:13 PM

Google has a limit of only being able to process up to 500kb of your robots.txt file.

magicx · 07-16-2018, 12:55 AM

It cannot exceed more than 500kb

harshithaasin · 07-16-2018, 05:01 AM

Yes, 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 of 500kb.

Yes, there is a farthest point to robots.txt document as far as filesize 500 KB as Vipin calls attention to. A most extreme document size might be authorized per crawler. Content which is after the most extreme record size might be overlooked. Google as of now implements a size breaking point of 500kb.

RH-Calvin · 07-17-2018, 10:58 PM

Googlebot reads the first 500 KB present in the robots.txt file.
