The site currently does not serve a robots.txt file. When crawlers such as Googlebot and Bingbot visit the domain, they receive a 404 for https://numli.net/robots.txt. While this does not break the site, it is best practice to provide a robots.txt to:
• Explicitly allow or restrict crawler access to certain paths.
• Prevent unnecessary 404s from automated crawler requests.
• Provide the location of the sitemap to improve SEO.
Expected behavior
A robots.txt file should be available at the root of the domain (/robots.txt) with sensible defaults. For example:
User-agent: *
Disallow:
Sitemap: https://<domain>/sitemap.xml
Benefits
• Improves SEO and site discoverability.
• Reduces noise in server logs from missing file requests.
• Provides flexibility to disallow crawling of private or irrelevant paths in the future.
