I need to prevent Google web crawler from crawling only my homepage, located in /
But I need to allow all the other pages to be crawled. How can I achieve that?
I tried doing:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
User-agent: *
Disallow:
But it's not working
You need to use the following for this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /$
The path of the URLs is compared against the Disallow
directives. $
designates the end of the match pattern so the Disallow
directive will only match https://example.com/
but not https://example.com/foo
.
