Best Practices for Wix

✓ Wix generates robots.txt automatically — you cannot upload a custom file.
✓ Use the Wix SEO panel to configure which pages are indexed.
✓ Set noindex on pages you want to exclude rather than relying on robots.txt.
✓ Check your actual robots.txt at yourdomain.com/robots.txt to see what Wix generates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit robots.txt on Wix?▾

Wix does not allow direct editing of robots.txt. It is auto-generated based on your site settings. Use the page SEO settings to control indexing per page.

Does Wix generate a sitemap automatically?▾

Yes. Wix creates and maintains a sitemap.xml automatically. You can view it at yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml and submit it in Google Search Console.

How do I prevent Wix pages from being indexed?▾

Use the SEO settings on individual pages to set "noindex". You cannot block specific paths via robots.txt on Wix, but noindex is more effective for preventing indexing anyway.
