Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Blocking CSS/JS files

Solution: Google needs CSS/JS to render pages. Blocking them hurts mobile-first indexing. Only block truly private paths.

⚠️

Using for security

Solution: Robots.txt is public and optional. Bots can ignore it. Use authentication for real security, not robots.txt.

⚠️

Blocking then expecting deindexing

Solution: Robots.txt prevents crawling, not indexing. Already-indexed pages stay indexed. Use noindex meta tag for removal.
