Robots.txt Generator
Create robots.txt rules visually
What is Robots.txt Generator?
Robots.txt Generator is a free SEO tool from Farvixo that lets you create robots.txt rules visually. It checks your input against current search-engine documentation and explains what to change and why, rather than only returning a score. Free and unlimited, with no account and no per-report credit system.
How to use Robots.txt Generator
Give Robots.txt Generator the page address or the text you want checked.
Robots.txt Generator inspects the content against current search-engine guidance and scores what it finds.
Work through the findings, each with what to change and why it matters. Re-run it afterwards to confirm the fix.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does robots.txt stop a page appearing in search results?
No — and this trips people up constantly. Disallow stops crawling, not indexing. A blocked page linked from elsewhere can still appear as a bare URL with no description. To keep a page out of results, allow the crawl and use a noindex meta tag.
Should I block AI crawlers?
A real decision, not a technicality. Blocking GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot keeps your content out of their training and answers — and out of the citations that increasingly drive traffic. Most sites benefit from allowing them; ones selling the content itself often do not.
Can robots.txt protect private pages?
No. It is a public file that politely asks well-behaved crawlers to stay away, and it advertises exactly which paths you consider sensitive. Anything genuinely private needs authentication.
Where does robots.txt go?
The root of the domain — example.com/robots.txt, nowhere else. It applies per host and per protocol, so a subdomain needs its own file.
Do I need a robots.txt at all?
Not strictly — no file means everything may be crawled, which is fine for many sites. Add one when you need to exclude paths or point crawlers at your sitemap.

- Re-run the check after deploying so you are measuring what is live, not what you drafted.
Common problems and how to fix them
A page will not fetch
The site blocks automated requests, or requires a login. Check robots.txt and test the URL in a private browsing window.
Structured data validates but shows no rich result
Valid markup makes a page eligible, not guaranteed. Google decides per query, and new markup can take weeks to be picked up.
The report contradicts another SEO tool
Different tools weight signals differently. Treat the underlying finding as the fact and the score as one opinion.
