Info

1 of 6 search engines are blocked

Blocked: Baiduspider.

  • BaiduspiderBaiduL11

    Baidu

    "Disallow: /*" blocks Baiduspider.

If that is the intention. If your intention is to keep the site out of the major search indexes, the current configuration achieves that for these crawlers — the rest of the group is still allowed.

Consequence. These search engines cannot crawl the site, so its pages will not appear in their results. Note that robots.txt does not remove URLs that are already indexed — it stops them being re-crawled.

If that is not intended. Remove the matching Disallow rule, or give these crawlers their own group with an Allow rule. Path matching is longest-wins, so a specific Allow overrides a broader Disallow.
