Frequently asked questions

Does robots.txt prevent indexing?

Not reliably by itself. Use page-level noindex controls when indexing must be prevented.

Where should robots.txt be placed?

It belongs at the root of the hostname, such as example.com/robots.txt.

Should private pages rely on robots.txt?

No. Protect private content with authentication and proper access controls.

You can change these choices at any time.
