Hi Friends,
Robots.txt is a text file webmasters create to instruct web robots (typically search engine robots) how to crawl pages on their website. The robots.txt file is part of the the robots exclusion protocol (REP), a group of web standards that regulate how robots crawl the web, access and index content, and serve that content up to users. The REP also includes directives like meta robots, as well as page-, subdirectory-, or site-wide instructions for how search engines should treat links (such as "follow" or "nofollow").

In practice, robots.txt files indicate whether certain user agents (web-crawling software) can or cannot crawl parts of a website. These crawl instructions are specified by "disallowing" or "allowing" the behavior of certain (or all) user agents.

Basic format:
User-agent: [user-agent name]Disallow: [URL string not to be crawled]

Robots.txt is a text file that lists webpages which contain instructions for search engines robots. The file lists webpages that are allowed and disallowed from search engine crawling.

The robots. txt file, also known as the robots exclusion protocol or standard, is a text file that tells web robots which pages on your site to crawl.

A robots. txt file lives at the root of your site. So, for site www.example.com, the robots. txt file lives at www.example.com/robots.txt.

A robots. txt file tells search engine crawlers which pages or files the crawler can or can't request from your site. This is used mainly to avoid overloading your site with requests; it is not a mechanism for keeping a web page out of Google.

The robot.tst file is a set of instructions foin the source files of most websites. The robots.tst files are mostly used to manage the activities of good bots, such as web crawlers, because bad bots do not follow instructions.

Think of a robot.tst file like the "Code of Conduct" sign posted on the wall at a gym, bar, or community center: this symbol does not have the option to enforce self-contained rules But "good" guardians will follow the rules, while "bad" ones are more likely to break them and self-destruct.

A bot is an automated computer program that interacts with websites and applications. There are good bots and bad bots, and a kind of good boot is called a web crawler boot. These bots "crawl" web pages and index the content so that it can appear in search engine results. A robot.tst file helps manage the activities of these web crawlers so that they do not outsource web server hosting websites, or index pages that are not for public viewing.

How does a robot.tst file work?
A robot.tst file is just a text file that does not contain HTML markup code (hence the .txt extension). The Robot.tst file is hosted on a web server just like any other file on the website. In fact, the robot.tstl file for any website is usually typed in the full URL for the homepage and then /robots.txt, such as https://www.cloudflare.com/robots.txt Can be viewed by adding The file is not linked to anywhere else on the site, so users are unlikely to stumble upon it, but most web crawler bots will find the site before crawling the rest of the site.

While the robots.tst file provides instructions for the files, it cannot actually enforce the instructions. A good boot, such as a web crawler or a newsfeed boot, will first try to view the robot.tst file before viewing any other pages on the domain, and will follow the instructions. A malicious bot will either ignore the robot.tst file or execute it to search for web pages that are prohibited.

A web crawler bot will follow a very specific set of instructions in the robot.tst file. If the file contains conflicting commands, the boot will follow a more granular command.

One important thing to note is that all subdomains need their own robot.tst file. For example, while www.cloudflare.com has its own file, all cloudflare subdomains (blog-cloudflyre.com, community.fly.com, etc.) also have their own requirements.

What protocols are used in the robots.text file?
In networking, the protocol is a format for providing instructions or commands. Robot.tst files use some different protocols. The central protocol is called the protocol for removing robots. Here's how to put one together for use with your web site. Instructions for this protocol are included in the robot.text file.

The second protocol used for robots.text files is the sitemap protocol. This can be considered as a protocol for adding robots. Sitemap shows a web crawler which pages they can crawl. This helps ensure that the crawler boot does not lose any important pages.r bots. This file is included in the source files of most websites.
