Use robots.txt and noindex to implement layered control over crawling and indexing. Clearly define which functional pages, archive pages, and attachment pages should be blocked or allowed. Utilize Robots Meta to establish maintainable default rules.

Understand the role of XML sitemaps and robots.txt files generated by the Rank Math plugin, and explore how they work together to determine whether a web page is indexed by search engines. By configuring the sitemap and robots.txt files appropriately, you can improve the indexing rate of your website and optimize your SEO performance.
