Frequently asked questions
The answers to the most common questions about the robots.txt file and the generator.
What is the robots.txt file and what is it for?
The robots.txt file is a text file placed in the site's root that tells search engines and bots which pages they can crawl and which they can't. It's fundamental for SEO because it lets you optimise the crawl budget, protect restricted areas and prevent the indexing of irrelevant pages.
Is the generator really free?
Yes, completely free. All the templates, the validator and the features are accessible without registration, without limits and with no hidden costs. The tool was created by G Tech Group as a resource for the community.
How do I choose the right template for my site?
Select the template that matches your CMS or framework (WordPress, PrestaShop, Magento, Shopify, Laravel, etc.). If you use WordPress with a specific SEO plugin (Yoast, SEOPress), choose the dedicated variant. If you don't find your CMS, you can start from a generic template and customise it.
What does malicious-bot blocking do?
The templates include rules to block bots that consume server resources without bringing useful traffic: AI crawlers (GPTBot, CCBot, DataForSeoBot), scrapers, automated SEO bots and others. You can customise the list based on your needs.
Does robots.txt really block access to pages?
robots.txt is a directive, not a security mechanism. Well-behaved bots (Googlebot, Bingbot) respect it, but malicious bots may ignore it. To protect sensitive content, use authentication or server-level restrictions, not just robots.txt.
Can I validate an existing robots.txt?
Yes. The built-in validator accepts any robots.txt file: paste the content and instantly receive an analysis with errors, warnings and improvement suggestions. Perfect for checking the correctness of a file already in production.
Should I update robots.txt regularly?
We recommend reviewing robots.txt when you add new sections to the site, change CMS, install new plugins or notice indexing problems. With our generator, regenerating an updated file takes less than 30 seconds.
How does the e-commerce optimisation work?
The e-commerce templates automatically block pages that generate duplicate content: product filters, sorting, faceted search parameters, cart and checkout pages. This concentrates the crawl budget on the product and category pages important for SEO.
