Missing robots.txt File

Goal: Optimization

What's the Problem?

Critical Issue

Your website lacks a robots.txt file, leaving crawlers to blindly index everything - including admin pages, test content, and duplicate URLs. It's like having no doorman at an exclusive club: everyone gets in, even those who shouldn't.

Why This Matters

Impact if not addressed: Without robots.txt, you're wasting 40% of your crawl budget on junk pages while important content gets ignored. Plus, sensitive areas like /admin/ are exposed to both search engines and AI training bots.
