Robots.txt Best Practices

Place in root directory

robots.txt must be accessible at yourdomain.com/robots.txt

Use for guidance only

Respectful crawlers follow robots.txt, but malicious ones may ignore it

Include sitemap location

Help search engines discover all your pages

Don't block CSS/JS files

Blocking these can prevent proper page rendering in search results
