Understanding Results
Interpreting Results
When analyzing robots.txt files:
- A missing robots.txt file means all public content is crawlable
- User-agent: * applies to all crawlers unless specific rules exist
- More specific rules override general rules
- Disallow: / blocks all access for that user agent
- Allow: directives override Disallow: for specific paths
Best Practices
Consider these recommendations:
- Use specific user agent names when possible
- Keep rules organized and documented
- Test after making changes
- Monitor crawler behavior regularly
- Maintain consistent formatting
