Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I put robots.txt?+

In the main folder of your domain so it opens at https://yoursite.com/robots.txt.

Does Disallow remove a page from Google?+

Not always. It only stops crawling. Use a noindex tag to keep a page out of search results.

Is my data safe?+

Yes. Everything runs inside your own browser. Your text, files and images are never uploaded to any server.
