Robots.txt is a text (not html) dоcument you put on your site to tell seek robots which pages you might want them not to visit. Robots.txt is in no way, shape or form required for web crawlers yet for the most part internet searchers obey what they are requested that not do. It is essential to clear up that robots.txt is not a route from keeping web crawlers from slithering your webpage (i.e. it is not a firewall, or a sort of secret key insurance) and the way that you put a robots.txt record is something like putting a note "Kindly, don't enter" on an opened entryway – e.g. you can't keep cheats from coming in yet the great folks won't open to entryway and enter

Most sites misuse robots.txt by locking down resources that Google actually needs to render content properly, tanking their own rankings.
It's not a black hole for "bad URLs," but a crawling traffic controller. Blindly throwing "Disallow: /" everywhere screams amateurism in SEO. Robots.txt's old-school role is declining as search engines get better at selective crawling - so relying on it exclusively is a rookie mistake.
