How it works

FAQ

## About this calculator

**Does robots.txt hide pages from Google?**

It asks well-behaved crawlers not to crawl a path, but a blocked page can still be indexed if other sites link to it. Use a noindex tag or a password to keep a page out of results.

**Where does the file go?**

At the root of the site, for example example.com/robots.txt.

**Can a mistake hurt my rankings?**

Yes. Blocking everything on a live site stops crawlers from reading it. Test before you publish.

**How do I test my robots.txt?**

Open yoursite.com/robots.txt after uploading it, and use the robots.txt report in Search Console to see how Google reads it.

**Does robots.txt block bad bots?**

No. It is a request that well-behaved crawlers follow. It does not protect private content.

**Is anything saved?**

No. The math runs in your browser and nothing you enter is sent to us.
