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

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

It cannot exceed more than 500kb

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.

Source: Robots.txt Specifications

In terms of limitations (not sure if you meant that as well), there’s the fact that the robots.txt file is merely a optional directive, not a mandate. So search engines don’t have to adhere to your guidelines. It’s unethical not to, but it’s not illegal.

We’ve actually covered this queston in our FAQ here: Robots.txt file: the ultimate reference guide. You can read a lot more on the robots.txt file if you’re interested in learning more.
