Frequently Asked Questions
What is robots.txt?
Robots.txt is a text file at your website's root that tells search engine crawlers which pages they can and cannot access.
Can robots.txt block indexing?
Robots.txt blocks crawling, not indexing. Pages can still appear in search results if other pages link to them. Use noindex meta tags to prevent indexing.
What happens if I block important pages?
If robots.txt blocks pages you want indexed, search engines won't crawl them and they may lose rankings. Always test before deploying changes.
Should I block /cart and /checkout?
Yes, it's best practice to block pages like /cart, /checkout, and /account that don't need to be indexed. This helps preserve crawl budget.
