Common questions about this tool and how to use the results.

What is robots.txt?

A text file at your site root that tells search engine crawlers which pages to crawl or skip. It is the first file bots look for.

Should I block AI bots?

It depends on your content strategy. Blocking GPTBot/ClaudeBot prevents AI training on your content but does not affect SEO.

Can robots.txt block indexing?

robots.txt blocks crawling, not indexing. Google may still index URLs found via links. Use noindex meta tag for true deindexing.
