robots.txt Rules for Pro Sitemaps
Respects robots.txt: No
Robots.txt has limited effect on user-initiated bots
Pro Sitemaps is triggered by user actions within PRO Sitemaps's products. While PRO Sitemaps states it respects robots.txt, the bot operates differently from autonomous crawlers — it fetches specific URLs on demand rather than systematically spidering your site. Server-log monitoring is the only reliable way to verify what actually happens.
