A robots.txt file is a simple text file used by websites to control how search engine crawlers access and index their content. It is part of the Robots Exclusion Protocol (REP) and helps website owners manage which pages or sections of their site should be crawled by search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo.

How robots.txt Works

Search engines check the robots.txt file before crawling a website. If certain pages are disallowed, the search engine will not index them. However, robots.txt does not guarantee privacy—restricted pages can still be accessed directly via their URL.

I added Disallow: /private/ to block search engines from crawling that folder, but I can still find some slope game pages from it in search results. Does it take time to update, or did I set it up incorrectly?
