AkousaRobots.txt Generator
Generate robots.txt files visually with user-agent rules, path controls, AI bot blocking, and URL testing.
About Robots.txt Generator
The robots.txt file tells web crawlers which pages or sections of your website they can or cannot access. It uses the Robots Exclusion Protocol with User-agent, Disallow, Allow, Crawl-delay, and Sitemap directives. Properly configured robots.txt files help manage crawl budget, protect private pages, and control AI data collection.
How to Use
Choose a quick template or build custom rules. Add user-agent rules (specific bots or all bots with *). For each bot, add Disallow paths to block and Allow paths to permit. Add your sitemap URL. Use the URL tester to verify a specific URL would be allowed or blocked. Copy or download the generated robots.txt and upload it to your website root.
Common Use Cases
- Blocking AI web scrapers (GPTBot, CCBot) from training on your content
- Protecting admin, login, and private pages from search engines
- Configuring crawl budget by blocking duplicate/thin content pages
- Setting up robots.txt for WordPress, e-commerce, or custom sites
- Testing and validating existing robots.txt rules against specific URLs
