- Read the warnings.
- Use the URL tester to check important pages.
- Fix the file and test again.
Frequently asked questions
Does robots.txt remove pages from Google?
No. It controls crawling, not indexing. Use a noindex tag to keep a page out of results.
Should I block CSS and JS?
No. Google needs them to render your pages.
