Editing Robots.txt file

A robots.txt file acts like a map for search engine crawlers, guiding them to important pages while blocking out duplicates or sensitive areas. This improves your SEO ranking by focusing crawl budget on valuable content and protecting customer data, giving your online store a leg up in the competition.
