What is a robots.txt file and do I need one?
A robots.txt file tells search engine crawlers which parts of your site they should or should not access. While not required for every site, it helps manage crawl budget, block staging areas, and control bot access. Our generator creates one in seconds.
How do I create an XML sitemap?
Use our XML Sitemap Generator — paste a list of URLs, and it produces a properly formatted sitemap.xml file you can upload directly to your server. Include lastmod dates and priority values if needed.
What are hreflang tags and when do I need them?
Hreflang tags tell Google which language version of a page to show to users in different countries. If your site has pages in multiple languages or targets different regions, hreflang tags are essential to avoid duplicate content penalties and serve the right content.
How do I test if my robots.txt is working?
Use our Robots.txt Tester — paste your robots.txt rules and enter a URL path to instantly see if that path is allowed or blocked. Test before you deploy to avoid accidentally blocking important pages from search engines.
