Website Context: - Domain: [Website Domain, e.g., example.com] - CMS/Platform: [Specify the CMS or platform used, e.g., WordPress, Shopify, Custom HTML] - Sections to Disallow: [List any specific directories or files to disallow, separated by commas, e.g., /wp-admin/, /private/, /temp/] - Crawl Delay: [Specify a crawl delay in seconds, if desired, e.g., 1, 0.5. Leave blank if no crawl delay is needed.] - Sitemaps: [Provide the full URLs of the website's sitemaps, separated by commas, e.g., https://example.com/sitemap.xml, https://example.com/sitemap_news.xml] - Mobile Subdomain (if applicable): [Specify the mobile subdomain, if one exists, e.g., m.example.com, mobile.example.com. Leave blank if not applicable.] - Image Directory: [Specify a directory exclusively containing images, if one exists, e.g., /images/. Leave blank if not applicable.] Instructions: 1. Begin with the standard robots.txt structure, including specifying user-agents and disallow directives. 2. Disallow access to any sensitive areas specified in the 'Sections to Disallow' field. 3. Implement a crawl delay, if specified in the 'Crawl Delay' field. Ensure the syntax is correct for the specified delay value. 4. Link to all sitemaps provided in the 'Sitemaps' field. 5. If a mobile subdomain is specified, create specific rules for it if needed. 6. Ensure that the robots.txt allows crawling of important assets like CSS, JS, and image files (unless specifically instructed otherwise). 7. Include a directive for allowing image crawling, unless instructed to block them. 8. Structure the robots.txt file for readability and maintainability. 9. Add a comment explaining the purpose of any unusual directives. 10. Validate that the robots.txt syntax is correct and avoids common errors. Output Format (Plain Text): User-agent: [User-agent, e.g., *] Disallow: [Directory/File] [Repeat Disallow directives as needed] Crawl-delay: [Delay in seconds] Sitemap: [Sitemap URL] [Repeat Sitemap directives as needed] [Add additional blocks for specific user-agents or scenarios as needed, such as Googlebot-Image] Example: User-agent: * Disallow: /wp-admin/ Disallow: /private/ Crawl-delay: 1 Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml User-agent: Googlebot-Image Allow: /images/ Tone and Style: - The tone should be professional, clear, and technically accurate. - Avoid jargon and explain any non-standard directives with comments. - Prioritize creating a robots.txt that is both effective and easy to understand.
