Always test generated configuration before deploying it. A single wrong directive can deindex a site, break ad serving, or take a server offline.
Accuracy
Every generator follows the relevant published specification at the time of writing. Specifications, crawler user-agents and search engine behaviour all change. Verify against official documentation for anything business-critical.
Not professional advice
Nothing here is legal, security or financial advice. Publishing security.txt does not constitute a legal disclosure programme, and ads.txt does not guarantee revenue protection.
Your responsibility
- Validate syntax on your own server before reloading (
nginx -t, apachectl configtest).
- Confirm robots and indexing rules in Search Console before assuming they took effect.
- Keep backups of any file you replace.
- Never deploy a site-wide noindex or Disallow rule without checking which environment you are on.
