Wix robots.txt

The crawler instruction file editable through Wix's SEO Tools.

Wix exposes the robots.txt file via the SEO Tools menu, allowing custom crawl directives, disallow rules and sitemap declarations. Unlike many CMS platforms, Wix dynamically merges user edits with system rules to prevent accidental blocking of essential resources. SEO professionals commonly use it to block thank-you pages, private member areas or staging duplicates from indexing while keeping core content discoverable.
