Question Suggested robots.txt file to accompany product?

Hi,

I just installed this add-on and was wondering if you have a suggested robots.txt file that should go along with it?

Currently mine looks like this:

I'd appreciate any feedback to ensure the product works correctly so I can evaluate it properly before moving to the pro version.


Thanks,

D.

That robots.txt file looks pretty well fleshed out

Thank you!

I appreciate your taking a look for me.

It's always nice to get an experts opinion on this sort of thing!


Many thanks for a great product and excellent support!
