BNবাংলা#robots.txt
robots.txt is a plain text file at the root of a website that tells crawlers which paths they may request. Articles tagged here explain its syntax, how rules are matched and which directives search engines actually support. They show common mistakes, such as blocking CSS, JavaScript or whole sections by accident. Each guide explains the difference between blocking crawling and preventing indexing. You will also find safe templates for WordPress, shops and staging sites. A careful robots.txt protects crawl time without hiding pages that should rank.
