Recentemente, um de nossos leitores nos perguntou como otimizar o arquivo robots.txt para melhorar o SEO.
O arquivo robots.txt informa aos mecanismos de pesquisa como rastrear seu site, o que o torna uma ferramenta de SEO incrivelmente poderosa.
Neste artigo, mostraremos algumas dicas sobre como criar um arquivo robots.txt perfeito para SEO.
O que é um arquivo Robots.txt?
O Robots.txt é um arquivo de texto que os proprietários de sites podem criar para informar aos bots dos mecanismos de pesquisa como rastrear e indexar as páginas de seus sites.
Normalmente, ele é armazenado no diretório raiz (também conhecido como pasta principal) de seu site. O formato básico de um arquivo robots.txt é o seguinte:
User-agent: [user-agent name]
Disallow: [URL string not to be crawled]
User-agent: [user-agent name]
Allow: [URL string to be crawled]
Sitemap: [URL of your XML Sitemap]
Você pode ter várias linhas de instruções para permitir ou não URLs específicos e adicionar vários sitemaps. Se você não proibir um URL, os bots dos mecanismos de busca presumirão que têm permissão para rastreá-lo.
Veja a seguir um exemplo de arquivo robots.txt:
User-Agent: *
Allow: /wp-content/uploads/
Disallow: /wp-content/plugins/
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap_index.xml
No exemplo do robots.txt acima, permitimos que os mecanismos de pesquisa rastreiem e indexem arquivos na pasta de uploads do WordPress.
Depois disso, não permitimos que os bots de busca rastreassem e indexassem plug-ins e pastas de administração do WordPress.
Por fim, fornecemos o URL do nosso sitemap XML.
Você precisa de um arquivo Robots.txt para seu site WordPress?
Se você não tiver um arquivo robots.txt, os mecanismos de pesquisa ainda rastrearão e indexarão seu site. No entanto, você não poderá informar a eles quais páginas ou pastas não devem ser rastreadas.
Isso não terá muito impacto quando você começar um blog pela primeira vez e não tiver muito conteúdo.
No entanto, à medida que seu site crescer e você adicionar mais conteúdo, provavelmente desejará ter um controle melhor sobre como o site é rastreado e indexado.
Aqui está o motivo.
Os bots de busca têm uma cota de rastreamento para cada site.
Isso significa que eles rastreiam um determinado número de páginas durante uma sessão de rastreamento. Se eles esgotarem o orçamento de rastreamento antes de terminar de rastrear todas as páginas do seu site, eles voltarão e retomarão o rastreamento na próxima sessão.
Isso pode reduzir a taxa de indexação de seu site.
Você pode corrigir isso impedindo que os bots de busca tentem rastrear páginas desnecessárias, como as páginas de administração do WordPress, os arquivos de plug-in e a pasta de temas.
Ao não permitir páginas desnecessárias, você economiza sua cota de rastreamento. Isso ajuda os mecanismos de pesquisa a rastrear ainda mais páginas em seu site e a indexá-las o mais rápido possível.
Outro bom motivo para usar um arquivo robots.txt é quando você deseja impedir que os mecanismos de pesquisa indexem um post ou uma página do seu site.
Essa não é a maneira mais segura de ocultar o conteúdo do público em geral, mas o ajudará a impedir que o conteúdo apareça nos resultados de pesquisa.
Qual é a aparência de um arquivo Robots.txt ideal?
Muitos blogs populares usam um arquivo robots.txt muito simples. Seu conteúdo pode variar de acordo com as necessidades do site específico:
User-agent: *
Disallow:
Sitemap: http://www.example.com/post-sitemap.xml
Sitemap: http://www.example.com/page-sitemap.xml
Esse arquivo robots.txt permite que todos os robôs indexem todo o conteúdo e fornece a eles um link para os sitemaps XML do site.
Para sites WordPress, recomendamos as seguintes regras no arquivo robots.txt:
User-Agent: *
Allow: /wp-content/uploads/
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /readme.html
Disallow: /refer/
Sitemap: http://www.example.com/post-sitemap.xml
Sitemap: http://www.example.com/page-sitemap.xml
Isso diz aos bots de busca para indexar todas as imagens e arquivos do WordPress. Isso impede que os bots de busca indexem a área de administração do WordPress, o arquivo leia-me e os links de afiliados camuflados.
Ao adicionar sitemaps ao arquivo robots.txt, você facilita a localização de todas as páginas do seu site pelos bots do Google.
Agora que você já sabe como é um arquivo robots.txt ideal, vamos dar uma olhada em como criar um arquivo robots.txt no WordPress.
Como criar um arquivo Robots.txt no WordPress
Há duas maneiras de criar um arquivo robots.txt no WordPress. Você pode escolher o método que funciona melhor para você.
Método 1: Edição do arquivo Robots.txt usando o All in One SEO
OAll in One SEO, também conhecido como AIOSEO, é o melhor plugin de SEO para WordPress do mercado, usado por mais de 3 milhões de sites. É fácil de usar e vem com um gerador de arquivos robots.txt.
Para saber mais, consulte nossa análise detalhada do AIOSEO.
Se você ainda não tiver o plug-in AIOSEO instalado, consulte nosso guia passo a passo sobre como instalar um plug-in do WordPress.
Observação: uma versão gratuita do AIOSEO também está disponível e tem esse recurso.
Depois que o plug-in estiver instalado e ativado, você poderá usá-lo para criar e editar o arquivo robots.txt diretamente da área de administração do WordPress.
Basta acessar All in One SEO ” Ferramentas para editar seu arquivo robots.txt.
Primeiro, você precisará ativar a opção de edição clicando na opção “Enable Custom Robots.txt” (Ativar Robots.txt personalizado) na cor azul.
Com essa opção ativada, você pode criar um arquivo robots.txt personalizado no WordPress.
O All in One SEO mostrará o arquivo robots.txt existente na seção “Robots.txt Preview” (Visualização do arquivo robots.txt) na parte inferior da tela.
Essa versão mostrará as regras padrão que foram adicionadas pelo WordPress.
Essas regras padrão informam aos mecanismos de pesquisa que não devem rastrear seus arquivos principais do WordPress, permitem que os bots indexem todo o conteúdo e fornecem a eles um link para os sitemaps XML do seu site.
Agora, você pode adicionar suas próprias regras personalizadas para aprimorar o robots.txt para SEO.
Para adicionar uma regra, insira um agente de usuário no campo “User Agent”. O uso de um * aplicará a regra a todos os agentes de usuário.
Em seguida, selecione se deseja “Permitir” ou “Não permitir” o rastreamento dos mecanismos de pesquisa.
Em seguida, digite o nome do arquivo ou o caminho do diretório no campo “Directory Path” (Caminho do diretório).
A regra será aplicada automaticamente ao seu robots.txt. Para adicionar outra regra, basta clicar no botão “Add Rule”.
Recomendamos adicionar regras até que você crie o formato ideal de robots.txt que compartilhamos acima.
Suas regras personalizadas terão a seguinte aparência.
Quando terminar, não se esqueça de clicar no botão “Save Changes” (Salvar alterações) para armazenar suas alterações.
Método 2: Edição do arquivo Robots.txt usando o WPCode
O WPCode é um poderoso plug-in de snippets de código que permite adicionar códigos personalizados ao seu site de forma fácil e segura.
Ele também inclui um recurso útil que permite que você edite rapidamente o arquivo robots.txt.
Observação: Há também um plug-in gratuito do WPCode, mas ele não inclui o recurso de editor de arquivos.
A primeira coisa que você precisa fazer é instalar o plug-in WPCode. Para obter instruções passo a passo, consulte nosso guia para iniciantes sobre como instalar um plug-in do WordPress.
Na ativação, você precisa navegar até a página WPCode ” File Editor. Uma vez lá, basta clicar na guia “robots.txt” para editar o arquivo.
Agora, você pode colar ou digitar o conteúdo do arquivo robots.txt.
Quando terminar, certifique-se de clicar no botão “Save Changes” (Salvar alterações) na parte inferior da página para armazenar as configurações.
Método 3: Edição manual do arquivo Robots.txt usando FTP
Para esse método, você precisará usar um cliente FTP para editar o arquivo robots.txt. Como alternativa, você pode usar o gerenciador de arquivos fornecido pela sua hospedagem do WordPress.
Basta conectar-se aos arquivos do seu site WordPress usando um cliente FTP.
Uma vez lá dentro, você poderá ver o arquivo robots.txt na pasta raiz do seu site.
Se você não encontrar um, provavelmente não tem um arquivo robots.txt.
Nesse caso, você pode ir em frente e criar um.
O Robots.txt é um arquivo de texto simples, o que significa que você pode baixá-lo para o seu computador e editá-lo usando qualquer editor de texto simples, como o Notepad ou o TextEdit.
Depois de salvar as alterações, você pode fazer upload do arquivo robots.txt de volta para a pasta raiz do seu site.
Como testar seu arquivo Robots.txt
Depois de criar o arquivo robots.txt, é sempre uma boa ideia testá-lo usando uma ferramenta de teste de robots.txt.
Há muitas ferramentas de teste de robots.txt no mercado, mas recomendamos usar a que está no Google Search Console.
Primeiro, você precisará ter seu website vinculado ao Google Search Console. Se ainda não tiver feito isso, consulte nosso guia sobre como adicionar seu site WordPress ao Google Search Console.
Em seguida, você pode usar a ferramenta de teste de robôs do Google Search Console.
Basta selecionar sua propriedade na lista suspensa.
A ferramenta buscará automaticamente o arquivo robots.txt do seu site e destacará os erros e avisos, caso encontre algum.
Considerações finais
O objetivo de otimizar seu arquivo robots.txt é impedir que os mecanismos de pesquisa rastreiem páginas que não estejam disponíveis publicamente. Por exemplo, páginas em sua pasta wp-plugins ou páginas em sua pasta de administração do WordPress.
Um mito comum entre os especialistas em SEO é que o bloqueio de categorias, tags e páginas de arquivo do WordPress melhorará a taxa de rastreamento e resultará em indexação mais rápida e classificações mais altas.
Isso não é verdade. Isso também é contra as diretrizes para webmasters do Google.
Recomendamos que você siga o formato robots.txt acima para criar um arquivo robots.txt para o seu site.
Esperamos que este artigo tenha ajudado você a aprender como otimizar seu arquivo robots.txt do WordPress para SEO. Talvez você também queira ver nosso guia definitivo de SEO para WordPress e nossas escolhas de especialistas para as melhores ferramentas de SEO para WordPress para aumentar seu site.

Thanks for this informative post about robots.txt file.
I didn’t know that websites should maintain this file in order to have a control over Google bots that how should they crawl over our pages and posts.
for beginner websites just starting out, is there a need to have robots.txt file or is there a way like plugin which can a make a robots.txt file for our website?
WPBeginner Support says
Most SEO plugins help with setting up the robots.txt for a new site to prevent bots from scrolling sections they shouuldn’t.

Hi,
Thanks for that post, it becomes clearer how to use the robots.txt file. On most websites that you find while looking for some advice regarding the robots.txt file, you can see that the following folders are explicitly excluded from crawling (for WordPress):
Disallow: /wp-content/plugins
Disallow: /wp-content/cache
Disallow: /wp-content/themes
I don’t really understand the reasons to exclude those folders (is there one actually?). What would be your take regarding that matter?
WPBeginner Support says
It is mainly to prevent anything in those folders from showing as a result when a user searches for your site. As that is not your content it is not something most people would want to appear for the site’s results.

zaid haris says
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
GSC show the coverage error for “Disallow: /wp-admin/” Is this wrong?
WPBeginner Support says
For most sites, you do not want anything from your wp-admin to appear as a search result so it is fine and expected to receive the coverage area when you deny Google the ability to scan your wp-admin.
Administrador
Hansini says
I am creating my robots.txt manually as you instructed for my WordPress site.
I have one doubt. when I write User-Agent: * won’t it allow another spamming robot to access my site?
Should I write User-Agent: * or User-Agent: Googlebot.?
WPBeginner Support says
The User-Agent line is setting the rules that all robots should follow on your site, if you specify a specific bot on that line it would be setting rules for that specific bot and none of the others.

You would not want to worry about blocking your themes folder and as you write SEO-friendly content you should no longer see the themes as a search result.

Amila says
Hello! I really like this article and as I’m a beginner with all this crawling stuff I would like to ask something in this regard. Recently, Google has crawled and indexed one of my websites on a really terrible way, showing the pages in search results which are deleted from the website. The website didn’t have discouraged search engine from indexing in the settings of WordPress at the beginning, but it did later after Google showed even 3 more pages in the search results (those pages also doesn’t exist) and I really don’t understand how it could happen with “discourage search engine from indexing” option on. So, can the Yoast method be helpful and make a solution for my website to Google index my website on the appropriate way this time? Thanks in advance!
WPBeginner Support says
The Yoast plugin should be able to assist in ensuring the pages you have are indexed properly, there is a chance before you discouraged search engines from crawling your site your page was cached.
Administrador
Amila says
Well yes and from all pages, it cached the once who doesn’t exist anymore. Anyway, as the current page is on “discourage” setting on, is it better to keep it like that for now or to uncheck the box and leave the Google to crawl and index it again with Yoast help? Thanks! With your articles, everything became easier!
WPBeginner Support says
You would want to have Google recrawl your site once it is set up how you want.
Pradhuman Kumar says

My blog’s robots.txt file was:
User-Agent: *
crawl-delay: 10
After reading this post, I have changed it into your recommended robots.txt file. Is that okay that I removed crawl-delay
WPBeginner Support says
It should be fine, crawl-delay tells search engines to slow down how quickly to crawl your site.

The files in the screenshots of your home folder are actually located under the public_html folder under my home folder.
I did not have a /refer folder under my public_html folder.
I did not have post or page xml files anywhere on my WP account.
I did include an entry in the robots.txt file I created to disallow crawling my sandbox site. I’m not sure that’s necessary since I’ve already selected the option in WP telling crawlers not to crawl my sandbox site, but I don’t think it will hurt to have the entry.
WPBeginner Support says
Some hosts do rename public_html to home which is why you see it there. You would want to ensure Yoast is active for the XML files to be available. The method in this article is an additional precaution to help with preventing crawling your site

I am trying to optimise robots for my website using Yoast. However Tools in Yoast does not have the option for ‘File Editor’.
There are just two options
(i) Import and Export
(ii) Bulk editor
May you please advise how this can be addressed. Could it be that I am on a free edition of Yoast?
WPBeginner Support says
The free version of Yoast still has the option, your installation may be disallowing file editing in which case you would likely need to use the FTP method.

Having a sitemap and allowing the areas that need to be allowed is the most important part. The disallow part will vary based on each site. We shared a sample in our blog post, and that should be good for most WordPress sites.

I keep getting the error message below on google webmaster. I am basically stuck. A few things that were not clear to me on this tutorial is where do I find my site’s root files, how do you determine if you already have a “robots.txt” and how do you edit it?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Cherisa,
Your site’s root folder is the one that contains folders like wp-admin, wp-includes, wp-content, etc. It also contains files like wp-config.php, wp-cron.php, wp-blogheader.php, etc.
If you cannot see a robots.txt file in this folder, then you don’t have one. You can go a head and create a new one.
Administrador

Thank you for your response. I have looked everywhere and can’t seem to locate these root files as you describe. Is there a path directory I can take that leads to this folder. Like it is under Settings, etc?

Tom says
I’ve just been reviewing my Google Webmaster Tools account and using the Search Console, I’ve found the following:
Page partially loaded
Not all page resources could be loaded. This can affect how Google sees and understands your page. Fix availability problems for any resources that can affect how Google understands your page.
This is because all CSS stylesheets associated with Plugins are disallowed by the default robots.txt.
I understand good reasons why I shouldn’t just make this allowable, but what would be an alternative as I would suspect the Google algorithms are marking down the site for not seeing these.
