<p>This plugin adds lines to the virtual robots.txt file that WordPress creates automagically if the file is not present physically on the server to block some WooCommerce assets and Search pages that should not be indexed.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Please be aware of what this plugin does exactly: If you activate the plugin it will add some lines to the robots.txt file to tell search engine bots to <strong>not to crawl and index</strong> parts of this website.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This plugin blocks certain pages from WooCommerce (“add-to-cart”, “orderby”, “filter”, cart, account, checkout, …) from being crawled by search engines. Crawling these links normally requires a lot of CPU, memory and bandwidth because they are not cacheable and/or create crawling loops (while they are useless). Optimizing your robots.txt when running a WooCommerce online store allocates more processing power for pages that really matter.</p>
<p>This plugin also blocks the search pages from WordPress from getting indexed.</p>
<p><strong>Please only activate this plugin if you know what you’re doing</strong>.</p>

<h4>What ideas is this plugin based on?</h4>
<p>None. We needed a fast solution to add these lines to the robots.txt file and this was the solution we coded.</p>
<h4>What is the robots.txt file?</h4>
<p>The robots.txt file is a plain text file located at the root folder of a domain (or subdomain) which tells web crawlers (like Googlebot) what parts of the website they should access and index.</p>
<p>The first thing a search engine crawler looks at when it is visiting a page is the robots.txt file and it controls how search engine spiders see and interact with the web pages.</p>
