Technical SEO is a fundamental but often overlooked aspect. robots.txt and Sitemap are two of the most important technical SEO files, and proper configuration is crucial for search engine inclusion.
robots.txt configuration
Function:Tell the search engine which pages can be crawled and which pages should not be crawled.
Basic format: User-agent: * Disallow: /admin/ Disallow: /api/ Allow: / Sitemap: https://www.example.com/sitemap.xml
Common Disallow rules:- Backend management directory: /admin/、/manage/ - API interfaces: /api/、/ajax/ - Search page: /search/ - User login and registration: /login/、/register/ - Temporary pages: /tmp/
Common Errors:- Incorrectly Disallowed CSS/JS files (causing the page to not render) - Use robots.txt to block pages you don't want indexed (should use noindex tag) - robots.txt file does not exist or 404
Sitemap Configuration
Function:Informs search engines about which pages are on the website, as well as the update frequency and priority of the pages.
Basic Format of Sitemap:xml
Note:- Only index pages (200 status code) - Each Sitemap should not exceed 50,000 URLs or 50MB - Multiple Sitemaps can be used with a Sitemap index file - Update in a timely manner, add new pages as soon as possible
