What robots.txt does — and does not do
A plain-text file at your site's root (webji.in/robots.txt) telling crawlers which paths they may or may not fetch. It manages crawl budget — not indexing.
Key points:
- Directives — User-agent, Disallow, Allow, and the Sitemap line
- Does NOT deindex — blocked pages can still appear in results; noindex is the removal tool
- Never block CSS/JS — Googlebot must render your page to judge it
- Edit points — WordPress SEO plugins, or cPanel File Manager at the root
- Test it — Search Console's robots tester before deploying changes
The critical difference: robots.txt hides pages from crawling, meta noindex removes them from results — they answer different questions. Our SEO service company team audits both, and the robots.txt guide above shows real Indian-site examples.
The directives — User-agent, Disallow, Allow, Sitemap
How this plays out with robots.txt: settings that look cosmetic usually decide page speed and uptime under real traffic. The defaults WebJi® ships are tuned for Indian network conditions, and support can review your setup on request.
Where it lives and how to edit it (WordPress, cPanel)
Install WordPress from the one-click installer into the document root you intend to use, not into a surprise subfolder. Note the admin URL and set a real password. Delete the default post and the unused themes after you have logged in.
robots.txt vs meta noindex — the critical difference
robots.txt and meta noindex are not the same product. robots.txt is the option with less for you to operate. meta noindex is the option with more control, and more that you have to look after. Choose by what happens when it breaks at night, and by the INR figure on this page. Email support@webji.services if you want that choice made against your actual site.
