Where should the robots.txt file be uploaded on a website?

The robots.txt file must be uploaded to the root directory of your website (e.g. https://yourdomain.com/robots.txt). Search engine crawlers always look for it at this exact location before indexing.

How can I block AI crawlers like GPTBot or Claude from scraping my content?

You can specify dedicated Disallow directives for AI crawlers (e.g. 'User-agent: GPTBot' followed by 'Disallow: /') without affecting standard search bots like Googlebot or Bingbot.

What does the interactive path tester do?

The path tester evaluates your generated directives against any URL path (such as /admin or /api) to instantly confirm whether a specific crawler agent is allowed or blocked.
