When Google Search Console reports "Blocked by robots.txt", it means that Google was unable to crawl a URL on your website because of instructions in your robots.txt file. This can happen for a number of reasons, including:
The robots.txt file is not configured correctly
You accidentally blocked Googlebot from accessing the page
You included a disallow directive in your robots.txt file
It's normal to prevent Googlebot from crawling some URLs, especially as your website gets bigger. However, improper use of disallow rules can severely damage a site's SEO.
To find the “Blocked by robots.txt” error in Google Search Console, you can:
Go to the Pages section
Click on the Not indexed section
To prevent a URL from being indexed entirely, you can use the "noindex" meta tag or HTTP header in addition to blocking it in your robots.txt file.
