Review website crawler guidance files
Reviews & approvals · Example outcome
The handoff
A private an authorized website’s current crawler rules, public pages, and proposed directives review draft with source checks, uncertainty notes, and human approval status.
Keep in mind
Crawler directives are public guidance, not access control, and a wrong rule may hide useful pages or reveal a private path. Check the site owner’s intended scope, do not include secrets, verify syntax and sitemap references, and require the owner to approve and test the file before replacing a live version.
