This tool is designed to help website owners and developers to quickly create a valid robots.txt file. This file, located in the root directory of a website, instructs search engine crawlers on which parts of the site should or should not be accessed. Such a tool is useful for ensuring proper site indexing and improving SEO.
Key Uses

SEO Optimization
This tool helps search engines focus on the most important parts of your website. This can lead to better ranking and more efficient crawling.
User-friendly configuration
This tool provides a simple interface for non-technical users to specify crawl directives, which ensures that the syntax of the robots.txt file is correct.
Specifying Sitemap Locations
You can include the location of your XML sitemap within the robots.txt file and make it easier for search engines to locate and index your website’s content.
