Frequently Asked Questions
Where should the robots.txt file be placed?
Upload the generated file to the root directory of your domain (e.g. https://example.com/robots.txt).
Can robots.txt hide sensitive pages from users?
No. Robots.txt is publicly readable. Sensitive pages should always be protected by authentication.
