A robots.txt file tells search engine crawlers which URLs the crawler can access on your site. This is used mainly to avoid overloading your site with requests; it is not a mechanism for keeping a web page out of Google.

To fix this log into Blogger and go to Settings > Crawlers and Indexing > Enable custom robots. txt, The switch should be ticked OFF and a new robots. txt file will be generated with the correct parameters. There is no reason to do a custom robots.

While using this file can prevent pages from appearing in search engine results, it does not secure websites against attackers. On the contrary, it can unintentionally help them: robots. txt is publicly accessible, and by adding your sensitive page paths to it, you are showing their locations to potential attackers.

The “Blocked by robots. txt” error means that your website's robots. txt file is blocking Googlebot from crawling the page. In other words, Google is trying to access the page but is being prevented by the robots.
