Frequently Asked Questions
- Can robots.txt completely block crawlers?
- No. robots.txt is gentleman's agreement — legitimate crawlers obey but malicious crawlers ignore. True protection of sensitive content needs password auth or IP whitelist.
- What if Allow and Disallow conflict?
- More specific rule takes precedence. With Disallow: /admin/ and Allow: /admin/public/, public subdirectory allowed, other admin paths disallowed.
- Which paths should be disallowed?
- Admin panel (/admin/), user privacy (/user/), duplicate content (/print-version/), temp pages (/temp/), search results (?search=). Allow main content pages for indexing.
