Free Robots.txt Generator
Control how search engines crawl and index your website. Use our free tool to instantly generate a standard robots.txt file optimized for SEO performance.
Configure Your Rules
Guide bots to the right content.
A robots.txt file is a simple text file placed in your website's root directory. It tells web robots (most often search engine crawlers) which pages or files they can or cannot request from your site.
Properly configuring your robots.txt prevents crawlers from overloading your site with requests and ensures they focus on indexing your most important, public-facing pages rather than private administrative directories or duplicate content.
Why We Built This Tool
At OXLDigital, we believe in giving back to the community and making technical SEO accessible to everyone.
Simplifying Technical SEO
A single typo in a robots.txt file can completely de-index your website, causing a catastrophic drop in traffic and revenue. We've seen it happen too many times to new clients coming to us for help.
We built this generator to provide a foolproof, safe, and free way for website owners, marketers, and developers to create correctly formatted robots.txt files without needing to memorize syntax or worry about making a fatal error.
The OXLDigital Promise
We use this exact same framework to generate the baseline robots files for our enterprise clients. By open-sourcing our internal toolset, we hope to elevate the baseline quality of the web and help businesses grow securely.
How to Use the Generator
Set Default Access
Choose whether you want to allow all search engines to crawl your site by default (recommended), or block them entirely.
Specify Paths
List any specific directories or pages you want to explicitly allow or disallow. For example, you usually want to disallow /wp-admin/ or /private/ directories.
Add Your Sitemap
Include the full URL to your XML sitemap so that crawlers can easily discover all your content.
Generate & Upload
Click the generate button, download the file, and upload it directly to the root folder of your website (e.g., yourdomain.com/robots.txt).
