What is a Robots.txt File?

A robots.txt file is a simple text file placed in the root directory of your website. It tells search engine crawlers (like Googlebot) which pages or files they can or can't request from your site. This is used mainly to avoid overloading your site with requests, or to keep administrative pages out of public search results.
