Learn how to draft crawler rules while keeping important public resources accessible. Follow a practical workflow, check the exported result, and avoid common quality or compatibility problems.

When this tool is useful

Draft crawler rules while keeping important public resources accessible. A good result depends on choosing the right input, understanding the output settings, and checking the final file or configuration in the place where it will be used. Start with a copy of your source so you can compare the result and return to the original if needed.

Step-by-step workflow

List the paths that should be crawled or excluded, review wildcard rules carefully, and test representative urls against the final file. Before downloading or publishing, confirm that the output matches your intended use. If the tool offers a preview, compare it with the original rather than judging the result from a thumbnail alone.

Quality and safety checks

Robots.txt is not a privacy or access-control mechanism. A blocked URL may still be known to search engines, so use authentication for private content and inspect rules after deployment. Keep sensitive information private, use files and assets you have permission to process, and verify important results in the destination application or browser. If the output will be used for business, accessibility, legal, or technical decisions, review it rather than relying on automation alone.
