3 Things you don't know that something were actually at the website the whole time

NOTE: It's based on my own opinion. I'm not taking any other sources.


Have you ever heard of websites html, more. But. There are more about websites. Here it is....


1. Robots.txt

Have you ever heard abut robots.txt? If no, here it is.
Each websites has their own robots.txt in it. If you have your own website made from scratch(You know, using html, css, asp, js without using wordpress or any third party website builders), You should too. It will be fun like an easter egg that works on all websites.


To make it, simply add User-agent: User and Allow: /page Disallow: /page in it. If you're curious what this for, robots.txt is used for managing robot's permission to access pages in your site.
Also, you can add the link to your sitemap. Just add Sitemap: domainnamegoeshere/sitemap.xml. What is Sitemap? Then here it is...


2. Sitemap

What is a Sitemap? Sitemap is a webpage where it tells you all the pages in the website, like secret websites, easter eggs and more. It's even useful for you to find an easter egg on a website. Works all websites.



How to access it? Just add /sitemap.xml to the website. Here I found an easter egg in RiiConnect24's website by just using their sitemap.xml file. The easter egg is the Error 666. Funny.
rc24.xyz/sitemap.xml

RiiConnect24 Secret Error 666 page

Also, sitemap.xml is not available to some websites. Maybe the website dev forgot to make the sitemap.xml file, or they are lazy to make it.

3. Ads.txt

Here is the last one, ads.txt is a file that contains some information of author's ad info. If you have a website, you can use Google AdSense to display ads. You can go here for more info. It's case sensitive don't ever try to access it. It contains author's private information you don't wanna make the devs upset about it.

I guess that's all for today. Stay safe in the internet, see you next time.
