Robots.txt Guide
How to use
Identify which pages or directories you want to hide from search engines.
Add a 'Disallow' rule for those paths (e.g., /admin, /private).
Use 'Allow' to override a disallow rule for a specific file or subfolder.
Download the file and upload it to your website's root folder.
Use / to disallow the entire site, or /admin/ to disallow a specific directory. The * wildcard can be used in paths like /*.pdf to block all PDF files.
