   I have to admit, I use the AIOSEO plugin but have always ignored the “Enable Custom Robots.txt” option because I didn’t want to mess anything up.
   But I have read this article and I’m convinced it’s worth taking the time to optimize my site’s robots.txt file.

   If the whole template of robots.txt was given, it would have been of help.

   Thanks for this informative post about robots.txt file.
   I didn’t know that websites should maintain this file in order to have a control over Google bots that how should they crawl over our pages and posts.
   for beginner websites just starting out, is there a need to have robots.txt file or is there a way like plugin which can a make a robots.txt file for our website?

   Yanıtla

   • WPBeginner Support

     Most SEO plugins help with setting up the robots.txt for a new site to prevent bots from scrolling sections they shouuldn’t.

   Thanks to this article, I checked the robots.txt file and added URL addresses with sitemaps. At the same time, I had other problematic lines there, which were revealed by the validator. I wasn’t familiar with sitemaps in robots.txt until now. Thanks.

   Hi,

   Thanks for that post, it becomes clearer how to use the robots.txt file. On most websites that you find while looking for some advice regarding the robots.txt file, you can see that the following folders are explicitly excluded from crawling (for WordPress):
   Disallow: /wp-content/plugins
   Disallow: /wp-content/cache
   Disallow: /wp-content/themes

   I don’t really understand the reasons to exclude those folders (is there one actually?). What would be your take regarding that matter?

   Yanıtla

   • WPBeginner Support

     It is mainly to prevent anything in those folders from showing as a result when a user searches for your site. As that is not your content it is not something most people would want to appear for the site’s results.

   Disallow: /wp-admin/
   Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

   GSC show the coverage error for “Disallow: /wp-admin/” Is this wrong?

   Yanıtla

   • WPBeginner Support

     For most sites, you do not want anything from your wp-admin to appear as a search result so it is fine and expected to receive the coverage area when you deny Google the ability to scan your wp-admin.

   I am creating my robots.txt manually as you instructed for my WordPress site.

   I have one doubt. when I write User-Agent: * won’t it allow another spamming robot to access my site?
   Should I write User-Agent: * or User-Agent: Googlebot.?

   Yanıtla

   • WPBeginner Support

     The User-Agent line is setting the rules that all robots should follow on your site, if you specify a specific bot on that line it would be setting rules for that specific bot and none of the others.

   should we also disallow /wp-content/themes/ ?

   It is appearing in the search result when I run the command site:abcdef.com in google search

   Yanıtla

   • WPBeginner Support

     You would not want to worry about blocking your themes folder and as you write SEO-friendly content you should no longer see the themes as a search result.

    HI, What’s means ” Disallow: /readme.html & Disallow: /refer/ ” ?

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      That means you’re telling search engines to not look at any referral links or the readme.html file.

17. Amila

    Hello! I really like this article and as I’m a beginner with all this crawling stuff I would like to ask something in this regard. Recently, Google has crawled and indexed one of my websites on a really terrible way, showing the pages in search results which are deleted from the website. The website didn’t have discouraged search engine from indexing in the settings of WordPress at the beginning, but it did later after Google showed even 3 more pages in the search results (those pages also doesn’t exist) and I really don’t understand how it could happen with “discourage search engine from indexing” option on. So, can the Yoast method be helpful and make a solution for my website to Google index my website on the appropriate way this time? Thanks in advance!

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      The Yoast plugin should be able to assist in ensuring the pages you have are indexed properly, there is a chance before you discouraged search engines from crawling your site your page was cached.

      Yanıtla

      Yönetici

      • Amila

        Well yes and from all pages, it cached the once who doesn’t exist anymore. Anyway, as the current page is on “discourage” setting on, is it better to keep it like that for now or to uncheck the box and leave the Google to crawl and index it again with Yoast help? Thanks! With your articles, everything became easier!

        Yanıtla

        • WPBeginner Support

          You would want to have Google recrawl your site once it is set up how you want.

    My blog’s robots.txt file was:

    crawl-delay: 10

    After reading this post, I have changed it into your recommended robots.txt file. Is that okay that I removed crawl-delay

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      It should be fine, crawl-delay tells search engines to slow down how quickly to crawl your site.

    The files in the screenshots of your home folder are actually located under the public_html folder under my home folder.

    I did not have a /refer folder under my public_html folder.

    I did not have post or page xml files anywhere on my WP account.

    I did include an entry in the robots.txt file I created to disallow crawling my sandbox site. I’m not sure that’s necessary since I’ve already selected the option in WP telling crawlers not to crawl my sandbox site, but I don’t think it will hurt to have the entry.

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      Some hosts do rename public_html to home which is why you see it there. You would want to ensure Yoast is active for the XML files to be available. The method in this article is an additional precaution to help with preventing crawling your site

    I am trying to optimise robots for my website using Yoast. However Tools in Yoast does not have the option for ‘File Editor’.
    There are just two options
    (i) Import and Export
    (ii) Bulk editor
    May you please advise how this can be addressed. Could it be that I am on a free edition of Yoast?

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      The free version of Yoast still has the option, your installation may be disallowing file editing in which case you would likely need to use the FTP method.

      Having a sitemap and allowing the areas that need to be allowed is the most important part. The disallow part will vary based on each site. We shared a sample in our blog post, and that should be good for most WordPress sites.

      Hey Emmanuel,

      Please see the section regarding the ideal robots.txt file. It depends on your own requirements. Most bloggers exclude WordPress admin and plugin folders from the crawl.

    I keep getting the error message below on google webmaster. I am basically stuck. A few things that were not clear to me on this tutorial is where do I find my site’s root files, how do you determine if you already have a “robots.txt” and how do you edit it?

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Cherisa,

      Your site’s root folder is the one that contains folders like wp-admin, wp-includes, wp-content, etc. It also contains files like wp-config.php, wp-cron.php, wp-blogheader.php, etc.

      If you cannot see a robots.txt file in this folder, then you don’t have one. You can go a head and create a new one.

    I’ve just been reviewing my Google Webmaster Tools account and using the Search Console, I’ve found the following:
    Page partially loaded
    Not all page resources could be loaded. This can affect how Google sees and understands your page. Fix availability problems for any resources that can affect how Google understands your page.

    This is because all CSS stylesheets associated with Plugins are disallowed by the default robots.txt.

    I understand good reasons why I shouldn’t just make this allowable, but what would be an alternative as I would suspect the Google algorithms are marking down the site for not seeing these.
