/_app/ blocked in robots.txt

What this means

Section titled “What this means”

SvelteKit outputs all compiled JavaScript and CSS under /_app/. A Disallow: /_app/ rule in robots.txt tells Googlebot not to fetch those files. Without them, Googlebot cannot render your pages. They appear blank in Google’s renderer and get indexed with no content.

How to fix it

Section titled “How to fix it”

Remove the Disallow: /_app/ rule.

User-agent: *
Allow: /


Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml

If you need to block specific paths, list them explicitly rather than using a broad prefix.

Verify the fix

Section titled “Verify the fix”
Terminal window
