Protect your website or application from AI crawlers by implementing a `robots.txt` file on your domain to direct AI bot operators on what content they can and cannot scrape for AI model training.

Cloudflare's managed `robots.txt` explicitly disallows known bots engaged in scraping for AI purposes.

AI bots are expected to follow the `robots.txt` directives.

With the managed `robots.txt` enabled, Cloudflare will prepend our managed content before your original content, resulting in what you can view at https://crawlstop.com/robots.txt.

**Robots.txt example**
<div style="position: relative; padding-top: 56.25%; border: 1px solid orange; border-radius: 5px">
<iframe
src="https://crawlstop.com/robots.txt"
style="border: none; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; height: 100%; width: 100%;"
allow="accelerometer; gyroscope; autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture;"
allowfullscreen="true"
title="crawltop.com robots.txt file"

</iframe>
</div>

### No robots.txt file

If your website does not have a `robots.txt` file, Cloudflare creates a new file with our managed block directives and serves it for you.
