Tool-specific input

Processed locally in your browser when possible. No uploaded file is required for this tool.
Enter a domain and detect the CMS, or choose one manually if the site is not live yet.
This generates a strong starting point, not a perfect one-size-fits-all robots.txt. Review staging routes, account areas, search pages and custom internal paths before going live.
About robots.txt Generator
Use this robots.txt generator when you want a clean starting point for a live or upcoming website. It can try to detect the CMS from the domain, then apply a matching preset, or let you choose the platform manually if the site is not online yet.

Why a CMS-based robots.txt matters
Different CMS platforms expose different admin, framework, and internal routes. A robots.txt that fits WordPress is not the same as one that fits Magento, Joomla, or a headless CMS setup.
Using a CMS-aware preset saves time and reduces the chance of accidentally exposing internal paths to search engines while still leaving public content crawlable.
When to use manual CMS selection
If the domain is not live yet, or if the site blocks scanning, auto detection may not be possible. In those cases you can still choose the CMS manually and generate a sensible robots.txt immediately.
This is especially useful during staging, handoff, launch planning, or while preparing SEO basics before DNS has gone live.
What this generator includes
The generator produces practical rules for common admin, account, checkout, framework, and internal areas depending on the CMS you select or detect.
You can also include a sitemap line automatically so the resulting file is closer to launch-ready right away.
Frequently asked questions
Can this detect the CMS automatically?
Yes, if the website is live and publicly reachable, the tool can try to detect the CMS from public fingerprints like HTML, headers, asset paths and generator tags.
What if the website is not live yet?
You can choose the CMS manually, including a custom code option, and still generate a robots.txt file before launch.
Is the generated robots.txt always final?
No. It is a strong starting point, but you should still review the output against your site structure, SEO strategy and staging or private routes.
