Robots.txt Generator compared with other free tools
I compared this with the robots.txt generator on elementor.com, read from its page on 22 October 2026.
| Check | This tool | elementor.com |
|---|---|---|
| Presets | WordPress preset | Pre-filled WordPress paths |
| AI bot blocking options | Yes: GPTBot, CCBot, Google-Extended, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot | Not mentioned on the page |
| Sitemap field | Yes | Yes |
| Crawl delay | Yes | Yes: 5 to 120 seconds |
| Per-bot rules | AI bot toggles | Search robot overrides |
| Signup | None | Not stated |
Where they are ahead: elementor.com lets you set rules for individual search robots such as Google or Ahrefs. This tool covers AI bots with toggles instead.
Compared on 22 October 2026 by opening each tool and reading its page. Features can change.
What the Robots.txt Generator cannot do
- Blocking AI bots only works for crawlers that respect robots.txt. It is a request, not enforcement.
- Robots.txt is public and is not security.
- It does not remove pages already indexed.
- Test the result in the Robots.txt Checker before uploading.
- Do not block CSS or JavaScript that pages need to render.
Is my text or data sent anywhere?
Your input is processed in your browser and is not sent to this site or any other server. The Save button keeps snapshots in your own browser storage. The share link puts your input in the part of the URL after the # sign, which browsers do not send to servers, but anyone you give the link to can read it.
