Brightspot CMS User Guide

Customizing a site's robots.txt


A robots.txt file provides crawling guidance to search engines, such as the following:

  • Which user agents are allowed to crawl or not crawl
  • Which URLs to crawl or not crawl
  • Locations of sitemaps
  • Limiting the frequency of crawling

Properly configuring your site's robots.txt enhances search-engine optimization.

Brightspot provides a default robots.txt with the following directives:

User-agent: *
Crawl-delay: 10

Brightspot creates the file robots.txt at the location in the field Main > Default Site URL. For example, if your site's default URL is https://brightspot.com, Brightspot creates the robots.txt file at https://brightspot.com/robots.txt.

To customize a site's robots.txt:

  1. Click menu > Admin > Sites & Settings.
  2. In the Sites widget, select the site for which you are configuring robots.txt, or select Global to configure robots.txt for all sites.
  3. Click search, located to the left of more_horiz, and type robots.txt.
  4. In the robots.txt field, enter directives for the search engine. See the search engine's documentation for the list of honored directives.
    Example robots. Example robots.
    Example robots.txt configuration
  5. Click Save.
