#how to check robots.txt file in website

[changes]

Friday, July 28th, 2023

🌟 New

We’ve updated the text for the blog setting that said it would “hide your blog from search results”. Unfortunately, we’ve never been able to guarantee hiding content from search crawlers, unless they play nice with the standard prevention measures of robots.txt and noindex. With this in mind, we’ve changed the text of that setting to be more accurate, insofar as we discourage them, but cannot prevent search indexing. If you want to completely isolate your blog from the outside internet and require only logged in folks to see your blog, then that’s the separate “Hide [blog] from people without an account” setting, which does prevent search engines from indexing your blog.

When creating a poll on the web, you can now have 12 poll options instead of 10. Wow.

For folks using the Android app, if you get a push notification that a blog you’re subscribed to has a new post, that push will take you to the post itself, instead of the blog view.

For those of you seeing the new desktop website layout, we’ve eased up the spacing between columns a bit to hopefully make things feel less cramped. Thanks to everyone who sent in feedback about this! We’re still triaging more feedback as the experiment continues.

🛠 Fixed

While experimenting with new dashboard tab configuration options, we accidentally broke dashboard tabs that had been enabled via Tumblr Labs, like the Blog Subs tab. We’ve rolled back that change to fix those tabs.

We’ve fixed more problems with how we choose what content goes into blogs’ RSS feeds. This time we’ve fixed a few issues with how answer post content is shown as RSS items.

We’ve also fixed some layout issues with the new desktop website navigation, especially glitches caused when resizing the browser window.

Fixed a visual glitch in the new activity redesign experiment on web that was making unread activity items difficult to read in some color palettes.

Fixed a bug in Safari that was preventing mature content from being blurred properly.

When using Tumblr on a mobile phone browser, the hamburger menu icon will now have an indicator when you have an unread ask or submission in your Inbox.

🚧 Ongoing

Nothing to report here today.

🌱 Upcoming

We hear it’s crab day tomorrow on Tumblr. 🦀

We’re working on adding the ability to reply to posts as a sideblog! We’re just getting started, so it may be a little while before we run an experiment with it.

Experiencing an issue? File a Support Request and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!

"how do I keep my art from being scraped for AI from now on?"

if you post images online, there's no 100% guaranteed way to prevent this, and you can probably assume that there's no need to remove/edit existing content. you might contest this as a matter of data privacy and workers' rights, but you might also be looking for smaller, more immediate actions to take.

...so I made this list! I can't vouch for the effectiveness of all of these, but I wanted to compile as many options as possible so you can decide what's best for you.

Discouraging data scraping and "opting out"

robots.txt - This is a file placed in a website's home directory to "ask" web crawlers not to access certain parts of a site. If you have your own website, you can edit this yourself, or you can check which crawlers a site disallows by adding /robots.txt at the end of the URL. This article has instructions for blocking some bots that scrape data for AI.

HTML metadata - DeviantArt (i know) has proposed the "noai" and "noimageai" meta tags for opting images out of machine learning datasets, while Mojeek proposed "noml". To use all three, you'd put the following in your webpages' headers:

<meta name="robots" content="noai, noimageai, noml">

Have I Been Trained? - A tool by Spawning to search for images in the LAION-5B and LAION-400M datasets and opt your images and web domain out of future model training. Spawning claims that Stability AI and Hugging Face have agreed to respect these opt-outs. Try searching for usernames!

Kudurru - A tool by Spawning (currently a Wordpress plugin) in closed beta that purportedly blocks/redirects AI scrapers from your website. I don't know much about how this one works.

ai.txt - Similar to robots.txt. A new type of permissions file for AI training proposed by Spawning.

ArtShield Watermarker - Web-based tool to add Stable Diffusion's "invisible watermark" to images, which may cause an image to be recognized as AI-generated and excluded from data scraping and/or model training. Source available on GitHub. Doesn't seem to have updated/posted on social media since last year.

Image processing... things

these are popular now, but there seems to be some confusion regarding the goal of these tools; these aren't meant to "kill" AI art, and they won't affect existing models. they won't magically guarantee full protection, so you probably shouldn't loudly announce that you're using them to try to bait AI users into responding

Glaze - UChicago's tool to add "adversarial noise" to art to disrupt style mimicry. Devs recommend glazing pictures last. Runs on Windows and Mac (Nvidia GPU required)

WebGlaze - Free browser-based Glaze service for those who can't run Glaze locally. Request an invite by following their instructions.

Mist - Another adversarial noise tool, by Psyker Group. Runs on Windows and Linux (Nvidia GPU required) or on web with a Google Colab Notebook.

Nightshade - UChicago's tool to distort AI's recognition of features and "poison" datasets, with the goal of making it inconvenient to use images scraped without consent. The guide recommends that you do not disclose whether your art is nightshaded. Nightshade chooses a tag that's relevant to your image. You should use this word in the image's caption/alt text when you post the image online. This means the alt text will accurately describe what's in the image-- there is no reason to ever write false/mismatched alt text!!! Runs on Windows and Mac (Nvidia GPU required)

Sanative AI - Web-based "anti-AI watermark"-- maybe comparable to Glaze and Mist. I can't find much about this one except that they won a "Responsible AI Challenge" hosted by Mozilla last year.

Just Add A Regular Watermark - It doesn't take a lot of processing power to add a watermark, so why not? Try adding complexities like warping, changes in color/opacity, and blurring to make it more annoying for an AI (or human) to remove. You could even try testing your watermark against an AI watermark remover. (the privacy policy claims that they don't keep or otherwise use your images, but use your own judgment)

given that energy consumption was the focus of some AI art criticism, I'm not sure if the benefits of these GPU-intensive tools outweigh the cost, and I'd like to know more about that. in any case, I thought that people writing alt text/image descriptions more often would've been a neat side effect of Nightshade being used, so I hope to see more of that in the future, at least!

How to Back up a Tumblr Blog

This will be a long post.

Big thank you to @afairmaiden for doing so much of the legwork on this topic. Some of these instructions are copied from her verbatim.

Now, we all know that tumblr has an export function that theoretially allows you to export the contents of your blog. However, this function has several problems including no progress bar (such that it appears to hang for 30+ hours) and when you do finally download the gargantuan file, the blog posts cannot be browsed in any way resembling the original blog structure, searched by tag, etc.

What we found is a tool built for website archiving/mirroring called httrack. Obviously this is a big project when considering a large tumblr blog, but there are some ways to help keep it manageable. Details under the cut.

How to download your blog with HTTrack:

Website here

You will need:

A reliable computer and a good internet connection.

Time and space. For around 40,000 posts, expect 48 hours and 40GB. 6000 posts ≈ 10 hours, 12GB. If possible, test this on a small blog before jumping into a major project. There is an option to stop and continue an interrupted download later, but this may or may not actually resume where it left off. Keep in mind that Tumblr is a highly dynamic website with things changing all the time (notes, icons, pages being updated with every post, etc).

A custom theme. It doesn't have to be pretty, but it does need to be functional. That said, there are a few things you may want to make sure are in your theme before starting to archive:

the drop down meatball menu on posts with the date they were posted

tags visible on your theme, visible from your blog's main page

no icon images on posts/notes (They may be small, but keep in mind there are thousands of them, so if nothing else, they'll take up time. Instructions on how to exclude them below.)

Limitations: This will not save your liked or private posts, or messages. Poll results also may not show up.

What to expect from HTTrack:

HTTrack will mirror your blog locally by creating a series of linked HTML files that you can browse with your browser even if tumblr were to entirely go down. The link structure mimics the site structure, so you should be able to browse your own blog as if you had typed in the url of your custom theme into the browser. Some elements may not appear or load, and much of the following instructions are dedicated to making sure that you download the right images without downloading too many unnecessary images.

There will be a fair bit of redundancy as it will save:

individual posts pages for all your tags, such as tagged/me etc (If you tend to write a lot in your tags, you may want to save time and space by skipping this option. Instructions below.)

the day folder (if you have the meatball menu)

regular blog pages (page/1 etc)

How it works: HTTrack will be going through your url and saving the contents of every sub directory. In your file explorer this will look like a series of nested folders.

How to Start

Download and run HTTrack.

In your file directory, create an overarching folder for the project in some drive with a lot of space.

Start a new project. Select this folder in HTTrack as the save location for your project. Name your project.

For the url, enter https://[blogname].tumblr.com. Without the https:// you'll get a robots.txt error and it won't save anything.

Settings:

Open settings. Under "scan rules":

Check the box for filetypes .gif etc. Make sure the box for .zip etc. is unchecked. Check the box for .mov etc.

Under "limits":

Change the max speed to between 100,000 - 250,000. The reason this needs to be limited is because you could accidentally DDOS the website you are downloading. Do not DDOS tumblr.

Change the link limit to maybe 200,000-300,000 for a cutoff on a large blog, according to @afairmaiden. This limit is to prevent you from accidentally having a project that goes on infinitely due to redundancy or due to getting misdirected and suddenly trying to download the entirety of wikipedia.

Go through the other tabs. Check the box that says "Get HTML first". Uncheck "find every link". Uncheck "get linked non-html files". If you don't want to download literally the entire internet. Check "save all items in cache as well as HTML". Check "disconnect when finished".

Go back to Scan Rules.

There will be a large text box. In this box we place a sort of blacklist and whitelist for filetypes.

Paste the following text into that box.

+*.mp4 +*.gifv -*x-callback-url* -*/sharer/* -*/amp -*tumblr.com/image* -*/photoset_iframe/*

Optional:

-*/tagged/* (if you don't want to save pages for all your tags.)

-*/post/* (if you don't want to save each post individually. not recommended if you have readmores that redirect to individual posts.)

-*/day/* (if you don't feel it's necessary to search by date)

Optional but recommended:

-*/s64x64u*.jpg -*tumblr_*_64.jpg -*avatar_*_64.jpg -*/s16x16u*.jpg -*tumblr_*_16*.jpg -*avatar_*_16.jpg -*/s64x64u*.gif -*tumblr_*_64.gif -*avatar_*_64.gif -*/s16x16u*.gif -*tumblr_*_16.gif -*avatar_*_16.gif

This will prevent the downloading of icons/avatars, which tend to be extremely redundant as each image downloads a separate time for each appearance.

Many icons are in .pnj format and therefore won't download unless you add the extension (+*.pnj), so you may be able to whitelist the URLs for your and your friends' icons. (Honestly, editing your theme to remove icons from your notes may be the simpler solution here.)

You should now be ready to start.

Make sure your computer doesn't overheat during the extremely long download process.

Pages tend to be among the last things to save. If you have infinite scroll on, your first page (index.html) may not have a link to page 2, but your pages will be in the folder.

Shortly after your pages are done, you may see the link progress start over. This may be to check that everything is complete. At this point, it should be safe to click cancel if you want to stop, but you run the risk of more stuff being missing. You will need to wait a few minutes for pending transfers to be competed.

Once you're done, you'll want to check for: Files without an extension.

Start with your pages folder, sort items by file type, and look for ones that are simply listed as "file" rather than HTML. Add the appropriate extension (in this case, .html) and check to see if it works. (This may cause links to this page to appear broken.)

Next, sort by file size and check for 0B files. HTMLs will appear as a blank page. Delete these. Empty folders. View files as large icons to find these quickly.

If possible, make a backup copy of your project file and folder, especially if you have a fairly complete download and you want to update it.

Finally, turn off your computer and let it rest.

How Can You Use Google Search Console to Fix Indexing Issues?

Google Search Console (GSC) is a powerful free tool that helps website owners monitor and troubleshoot their site’s presence in Google Search results. One of its most valuable features is the ability to identify and fix indexing issues. If your pages are not showing up in search results, GSC can guide you to the root of the problem and help get your content back on track.

In this article, we’ll explore the best practices for using Google Search Console effectively to fix indexing issues and improve your site’s visibility.

1. Understand How Google Indexing Works

Before diving into fixes, it’s important to understand the basics. Indexing is the process through which Google crawls web pages and stores them in its database. Only indexed pages are eligible to appear in search results.

Common reasons pages may not be indexed include:

Crawl errors

Duplicate content

Noindex directives

Poor internal linking

Blocked by robots.txt

GSC helps identify these issues so you can take corrective action.

2. Start with the “Index Coverage” Report

The “Index Coverage” report in GSC gives a detailed overview of how your pages are indexed. It categorizes URLs into:

Valid — Pages indexed and working fine

Error — Pages with critical issues preventing indexing

Valid with warnings — Pages indexed but with potential issues

Excluded — Pages intentionally or unintentionally not indexed

Action Tip: Regularly check this report to spot errors like “Submitted URL not found (404)”, “Crawl anomaly”, or “Duplicate, submitted URL not selected as canonical”.

3. Inspect Individual URLs

The URL Inspection Tool allows you to check the status of any page on your website.

To use it:

Paste the URL in the inspection bar

GSC will show if the page is indexed, how it was crawled, and if there are any issues

If not indexed, you’ll get reasons like:

Discovered — currently not indexed

Crawled — currently not indexed

Blocked by robots.txt

Marked ‘noindex’

Action Tip: For pages that should be indexed, click “Request Indexing” after fixing the issues. This tells Google to re-crawl and potentially index your page faster.

4. Check Your Robots.txt and Meta Tags

Sometimes indexing issues stem from a misconfigured robots.txt file or meta tags.

Things to check:

Your robots.txt file doesn’t block important pages or directories

Important pages don’t have a <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> tag

Pages you want indexed are not blocked in sitemap or canonical settings

Action Tip: Use the “robots.txt Tester” in older versions of GSC or check the source code of your page to ensure there’s no noindex tag where it shouldn’t be.

5. Fix Crawl Errors Promptly

GSC flags crawl errors that may prevent your pages from being indexed.

Common errors include:

404 Not Found

403 Forbidden

500 Internal Server Errors

Redirect loops

Action Tip: Fix broken URLs, update internal links, and make sure your server responds correctly to crawl requests. Once fixed, validate the issue in GSC so Google can recheck it.

6. Submit an XML Sitemap

Your sitemap is a guide for search engines to understand your site structure and find new content.

Make sure your sitemap:

Is up to date

Contains only canonical URLs

Is submitted in the “Sitemaps” section of GSC

Action Tip: After submitting, monitor the status of your sitemap in GSC to ensure it’s processed without errors. Resubmit after major content updates.

7. Use Canonical Tags Correctly

Canonical tags tell Google which version of a page is the preferred one, especially helpful when you have duplicate or similar content.

Incorrect canonical tags can lead to unintended exclusion from indexing.

Action Tip: Make sure each page has the correct canonical URL. Avoid self-referencing canonicals on pages you don’t want indexed.

8. Strengthen Internal Linking

A well-structured internal linking strategy helps Google crawl your site more efficiently. If a page isn’t linked from anywhere, Google might not discover or prioritize it.

Action Tip: Add relevant internal links to orphan pages (pages with no incoming internal links), especially from high-authority pages on your site.

9. Check Mobile Usability

With mobile-first indexing, Google primarily uses the mobile version of content for indexing and ranking.

Action Tip: Use the “Mobile Usability” report in GSC to identify issues like small font sizes, clickable elements too close together, or content wider than the screen. Fix these to improve mobile accessibility and indexing potential.

10. Track Fixes with Validation Reports

When you fix an indexing issue, you can click “Validate Fix” in GSC. This triggers Google to re-crawl the affected pages and update their status.

Action Tip: Always monitor the validation progress. If it fails, investigate further and retry.

11. Monitor Performance After Fixes

Once your pages are indexed, head to the “Performance” section in GSC to track:

Clicks

Impressions

CTR (Click-Through Rate)

Average position

Action Tip: Look for upward trends in these metrics after your indexing fixes. This shows your efforts are improving your site’s visibility.

12. Stay Proactive with Alerts

GSC sends email alerts when it detects serious issues. Don’t ignore them. Being proactive can save you from long-term traffic loss.

Action Tip: Enable email notifications and regularly check your GSC dashboard. Schedule weekly reviews to stay ahead of potential indexing problems.

Final Thoughts

Resolving indexing issues might seem complex at first, but with the right tools like Google Search Console, it's much more manageable. From checking individual URLs to submitting sitemaps and addressing crawl errors, each step helps enhance your site’s presence on Google Search.

With regular and thoughtful use, Google Search Console becomes an essential tool in your SEO toolkit.

What is Technical SEO and How Does It Work?

Answer:

Technical SEO is the foundation of your website’s ability to rank in search engines. It refers to optimizing the backend structure of your website so that search engines can easily crawl, index, and understand your content.

Unlike content-based or link-building SEO, technical SEO focuses on the “invisible” parts of your site—like speed, structure, and security.

How Technical SEO Works (Key Elements):

Crawlability and Indexing

Make sure your website has a clean, error-free robots.txt file.

Submit an XML sitemap to Google Search Console.

Avoid unnecessary noindex tags or duplicate pages.

Site Speed

Google favors websites that load fast. Compress images, use lazy loading, and minimize CSS/JavaScript where possible.

Mobile-Friendliness

With mobile-first indexing, your site must be responsive. Test your site using Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test.

Secure Connection (HTTPS)

Install an SSL certificate so your site uses HTTPS. It’s a ranking factor, and it builds trust with users.

Fix Broken Links and Redirects

Use tools like Screaming Frog or Ahrefs to fix 404 errors and avoid redirect chains or loops.

Canonicalization

Prevent duplicate content issues with canonical tags that tell search engines which version of a page to index.

Structured Data (Schema Markup)

Help Google better understand your content and earn rich snippets by using schema (like Article, Product, FAQ, etc.).

Why Technical SEO Matters

You could have amazing content and backlinks—but if your technical setup is weak, Google won’t rank you.

Think of it like this: great content is the message, but technical SEO is the megaphone that gets it heard.

Web Scraping Explained: A Guide to Ethical Data Extraction

Web scraping is a technique used to automatically extract information from websites. Instead of manually copying and pasting data, web scraping uses programs that can read and collect information from web pages efficiently. It has become a popular tool among professionals who require large volumes of data for research, analysis, or business intelligence. In this article, we’ll explain what web scraping is, how it works, and why ethical practices matter—along with the value of working with a trusted website designing company in India to guide your digital strategy.

What Is Web Scraping?

Web scraping allows computers to mimic how a human browses the web and extracts data. The process typically involves sending requests to a website's server, receiving the HTML code in response, and then parsing that code to collect specific pieces of data such as product prices, contact details, or user reviews. The collected information is often stored in databases or spreadsheets for further analysis.

Many developers prefer to use programming languages like Python for web scraping due to its simplicity and robust libraries like Beautiful Soup and Scrapy. These tools make it easier to navigate through the structure of websites and extract meaningful information quickly.

When working with a professional website designing company in India, businesses can ensure that their web scraping efforts are seamlessly integrated into their digital platforms and follow best practices for compliance and performance.

Common Applications of Web Scraping

Web scraping is used across various industries and for multiple purposes:

E-commerce: Online retailers monitor competitor pricing and gather product data to adjust their own strategies.

Market Research: Companies collect customer feedback or product reviews to better understand consumer sentiment.

Journalism: Reporters use scraping tools to gather facts and track news stories.

Academia & Research: Researchers compile large datasets for analysis and insights.

By partnering with an experienced website designing company in India, businesses can implement web scraping tools that are tailored to their unique goals and ensure that they operate efficiently and ethically.

The Importance of Ethical Web Scraping

As powerful as web scraping is, it comes with significant ethical responsibilities. One of the primary concerns is consent. Extracting data from a website without permission can violate terms of service or even infringe on privacy laws.

Another important consideration is respecting the robots.txt file—a public document that outlines which parts of a website can be accessed by automated tools. Responsible scrapers always check this file and adhere to its guidelines.

Additionally, any data collected must be used responsibly. If you're using the data for commercial purposes or sharing it publicly, ensure that it doesn’t include personal or sensitive information without consent. Ethical data use not only protects individuals but also builds trust in your brand.

A reliable website designing company in India can help ensure your scraping solutions comply with legal standards and align with industry best practices.

Best Practices for Ethical Web Scraping

To ensure your scraping strategy is responsible and sustainable, keep the following tips in mind:

Review the Website’s Terms of Service: Understand what is and isn’t allowed before scraping.

Respect robots.txt: Follow the website’s guidelines to avoid prohibited areas.

Limit Your Request Frequency: Too many requests in a short time can slow down or crash a site. Adding delays between requests is a good practice.

Protect User Data: Always anonymize personal information and never share sensitive data without proper consent.

These practices help avoid legal trouble and ensure your scraping activity doesn’t negatively impact other websites or users. A reputable website designing company in India can also implement these controls as part of your digital infrastructure.

Real-World Applications and Professional Support

Small businesses and startups often use web scraping for competitive analysis, such as tracking product pricing or consumer trends. When used correctly, this method offers valuable insights that can lead to better business decisions.

To build scraping tools that are efficient, secure, and aligned with your business goals, consider working with a professional website designing company in India. Agencies like Dzinepixel have helped numerous businesses create secure and scalable platforms that support ethical data collection methods. Their experience ensures your scraping projects are both technically sound and compliant with privacy laws and web standards.

Final Thoughts

Web scraping is a powerful tool that can unlock valuable data and insights for individuals and businesses. However, with this power comes the responsibility to use it ethically. Understanding how web scraping works, respecting site guidelines, and using data responsibly are all crucial steps in making the most of this technology.

If you're planning to incorporate web scraping into your digital strategy, it’s wise to consult with a professional website designing company in India. Their expertise can help you develop robust solutions that not only deliver results but also maintain ethical and legal standards.

By taking the right steps from the beginning, you can benefit from the vast potential of web scraping—while building a trustworthy and future-ready online presence.

Mastering Technical SEO: How to Make Your Website Google-Friendly from the Inside Out

Have you ever wondered why some websites rank higher on Google even though their content seems similar to yours? The answer often lies behind the scenes—in the technical SEO setup of the website.

While great content and backlinks are important, technical SEO ensures that your website is accessible, fast, and easy to understand for search engines. In this blog, we’ll walk you through what technical SEO is, how it works, and what you can do to improve it—even if you’re not a tech expert.

What Is Technical SEO?

Technical SEO refers to optimizing your website’s infrastructure so that search engines can easily crawl, index, and rank your pages. It includes all the things that happen behind the scenes, such as site speed, mobile optimization, structured data, and security.

You can think of technical SEO as the "engine" of your website. If the engine isn't running smoothly, it doesn't matter how beautiful the car looks—it won't go far.

Key Benefits of Technical SEO

Before we dive into the elements, let’s highlight the main benefits:

Better search engine visibility

Faster loading times

Improved mobile experience

Fewer errors and better user engagement

Stronger foundation for long-term SEO results

Essential Technical SEO Factors You Should Not Ignore

Let’s take a look at the most important aspects of technical SEO and how they help your site succeed.

1. Website Speed and Performance

Google prefers fast websites—and so do your visitors. A slow website increases bounce rates and damages user experience.

Improve speed by:

Compressing images and videos

Minimizing CSS and JavaScript files

Using lightweight themes

Enabling caching and using CDNs

2. Mobile Optimization

Google uses mobile-first indexing, which means it considers your mobile site as the main version. If your mobile site isn't user-friendly, your rankings can suffer.

Best practices:

Use responsive design

Avoid pop-ups that cover content

Ensure buttons and text are easy to interact with on smaller screens

3. Secure Website (HTTPS)

Security is a top priority for Google. An SSL certificate (which gives you the "https://" in your URL) ensures your site is safe for users and builds trust.

If your site still shows “Not Secure,” it’s time to switch to HTTPS immediately.

4. XML Sitemaps and Robots.txt

A sitemap helps search engines discover all your important pages. The robots.txt file tells search engines which parts of your site to crawl or ignore.

Tips:

Create and submit an XML sitemap in Google Search Console

Keep your robots.txt file clean and accurate

Don’t accidentally block key content pages

5. Fix Crawl Errors and Broken Links

Crawl errors happen when search engines fail to reach your pages. These issues can harm your SEO if not resolved.

Fix them by:

Checking Google Search Console regularly

Removing or redirecting broken internal/external links

Using tools like Screaming Frog or Ahrefs for site audits

6. Use Structured Data (Schema Markup)

Structured data adds context to your content, helping Google understand it better. It also enhances your search listings with rich results like:

Star ratings

FAQ dropdowns

Product availability

Use Schema.org vocabulary and tools like Google’s Rich Results Test to validate your markup.

7. Canonical URLs

If you have duplicate content or similar product pages, canonical tags help Google understand which version to prioritize.

For example, two pages selling the same shirt in different colors can use canonical tags to point to the main page, avoiding confusion and duplicate penalties.

8. Website Architecture and Internal Linking

Search engines (and users) should be able to navigate your site easily. A flat, organized structure with proper internal links improves crawlability and helps distribute link authority.

Tips:

Use clean URLs like /services/seo instead of /page?id=45

Group related content logically

Add breadcrumb navigation for better user experience

Final Thoughts

Technical SEO is not about fancy coding—it’s about building a website that’s easy for search engines to understand and users to enjoy. When done correctly, it becomes the solid foundation that supports all your other SEO efforts.

Even small improvements in site speed, mobile design, or fixing crawl issues can significantly impact your visibility and rankings.

So, don’t ignore the technical side of SEO—it might just be the missing piece between your website and Google’s first page.

Python, with its simplicity and robust ecosystem of libraries stands out as the ideal programming for this task. Regardless of your purpose for web scraping, Python provides a powerful yet accessible approach. This tutorial will teach you all you need to know to begin using Python for efficient web scraping. Step-By-Step Guide to Web Scraping with Python

Before diving into the code, it is worth noting that some websites explicitly prohibit scraping. You ought to abide by these restrictions. Also, implement rate limiting in your scraper to prevent overwhelming the target server or virtual machine. Now, let’s focus on the steps –

1- Setting up the environment

- Downlaod and install Python 3.x from the official website. We suggest version 3.4+ because it has pip by default.

- The foundation of most Python web scraping projects consists of two main libraries. These are Requests and Beautiful Soup

Once the environment is set up, you are ready to start building the scraper.

2- Building a basic web scraper

Let us first build a simple scraper that can extract quotes from the “Quotes to Scrape” website. This is a sandbox created specifically for practicing web scraping.

Step 1- Connect to the target URL

First, use the requests libraries to fetch the content of the web page.

import requests

Setting a proper User-agent header is critical, as many sites block requests that don’t appear to come from a browser.

Step 2- Parse the HTML content

Next, use Beautiful Soup to parse the HTML and create a navigable structure.

Beautiful Soup transforms the raw HTML into a parse tree that you can navigate easily to find and extract data.

Step 3- Extract data from the elements

Once you have the parse tree, you can locate and extract the data you want.

This code should find all the div elements with the class “quote” and then extract the text, author and tags from each one.

Step 4- Implement the crawling logic

Most sites have multiple pages. To get extra data from all the pages, you will need to implement a crawling mechanism.

This code will check for the “Next” button, follow the link to the next page, and continue the scraping process until no more pages are left.

Step 5- Export the data to CSV

Finally, let’s save the scraped data to a CSV file.

And there you have it. A complete web scraper that extracts the quotes from multiple pages and saves them to a CSV file.

Python Web Scraping Libraries

The Python ecosystem equips you with a variety of libraries for web scraping. Each of these libraries has its own strength. Here is an overview of the most popular ones –

1- Requests

Requests is a simple yet powerful HTTP library. It makes sending HTTP requests exceptionally easy. Also, it handles, cookies, sessions, query strings, including other HTTP-related tasks seamlessly.

2- Beautiful Soup

This Python library is designed for parsing HTML and XML documents. It creates a parse tree from page source code that can be used to extract data efficiently. Its intuitive API makes navigating and searching parse trees straightforward.

3- Selenium

This is a browser automation tool that enables you to control a web browser using a program. Selenium is particularly useful for scraping sites that rely heavily on JavaScript to load content.

4- Scrapy

Scrapy is a comprehensive web crawling framework for Python. It provides a complete solution for crawling websites and extracting structured data. These include mechanisms for following links, handling cookies and respecting robots.txt files.

5- 1xml

This is a high-performance library for processing XML and HTML. It is faster than Beautiful Soup but has a steeper learning curve.

How to Scrape HTML Forms Using Python?

You are often required to interact with HTML when scraping data from websites. This might include searching for specific content or navigating through dynamic interfaces.

1- Understanding HTML forms

HTML forms include various input elements like text fields, checkboxes and buttons. When a form is submitted, the data is sent to the server using either a GET or POST request.

2- Using requests to submit forms

For simple forms, you can use the Requests library to submit form data

import requests

3- Handling complex forms with Selenium

For more complex forms, especially those that rely on JavaScript, Selenium provides a more robust solution. It allows you to interact with forms just like human users would.

How to Parse Text from the Website?

Once you have retrieved the HTML content form a site, the next step is to parse it to extract text or data you need. Python offers several approaches for this.

1- Using Beautiful Soup for basic text extraction

Beautiful Soup makes it easy to extract text from HTML elements.

2- Advanced text parsing

For complex text extraction, you can combine Beautiful Soup with regular expressions.

3- Structured data extraction

If you wish to extract structured data like tables, Beautiful Soup provides specialized methods.

4- Cleaning extracted text

Extracted data is bound to contain unwanted whitespaces, new lines or other characters. Here is how to clean it up –

Conclusion Python web scraping offers a powerful way to automate data collection from websites. Libraries like Requests and Beautiful Soup, for instance, make it easy even for beginners to build effective scrappers with just a few lines of code. For more complex scenarios, the advanced capabilities of Selenium and Scrapy prove helpful. Keep in mind, always scrape responsibly. Respect the website’s terms of service and implement rate limiting so you don’t overwhelm servers. Ethical scraping practices are the way to go! FAQs 1- Is web scraping illegal? No, it isn’t. However, how you use the obtained data may raise legal issues. Hence, always check the website’s terms of service. Also, respect robots.txt files and avoid personal or copyrighted information without permission. 2- How can I avoid getting blocked while scraping? There are a few things you can do to avoid getting blocked – - Use proper headers - Implement delays between requests - Respect robot.txt rules - Use rotating proxies for large-scale scraping - Avoid making too many requests in a short period 3- Can I scrape a website that requires login? Yes, you can. Do so using the Requests library with session handling. Even Selenium can be used to automate the login process before scraping. 4- How do I handle websites with infinite scrolling? Use Selenium when handling sites that have infinite scrolling. It can help scroll down the page automatically. Also, wait until the new content loads before continuing scraping until you have gathered the desired amounts of data.

Understanding Web Scraping: Techniques, Ethics & Professional Guidance

Web scraping is a widely-used method for automatically extracting information from websites. It allows users to programmatically gather large volumes of data without manual copying and pasting. This technology has become essential for professionals in fields like market research, journalism, and e-commerce. In this blog, we’ll explore what web scraping is, how it works, and why practicing it ethically matters—along with how partnering with experts in web development can enhance your data strategy.

What Is Web Scraping?

At its core, web scraping is a digital technique that simulates human browsing to extract useful information from websites. It involves writing scripts that send requests to web pages, parse the HTML code, and organize extracted content—such as prices, reviews, or contact info—into structured formats like spreadsheets or databases.

Many developers choose languages like Python for web scraping due to its clean syntax and powerful libraries like Beautiful Soup and Scrapy. These tools make it easier to navigate and extract data from complex websites efficiently.

Common Applications of Web Scraping

Web scraping serves a wide variety of purposes across different industries:

Market Research: Businesses collect consumer feedback and competitor pricing to understand market trends.

E-commerce Monitoring: Online stores track product availability and prices across multiple platforms.

News & Journalism: Reporters gather public data or breaking information to support their stories.

Academic Research: Analysts compile datasets for large-scale studies or surveys.

By leveraging these insights, companies can fine-tune their strategies and stay ahead of the competition.

Why Ethical Web Scraping Matters

While web scraping can be incredibly useful, it must be done responsibly. Key ethical considerations include:

Respect for Consent: Many websites specify in their terms of service whether scraping is allowed. Ignoring these terms may result in legal issues or damage to your reputation.

Robots.txt Compliance: Most websites use a file called robots.txt to control which parts of their site are accessible to bots. Ethical scrapers always check and follow these rules.

Data Usage Responsibility: Scraped data must be handled with care, especially if it contains personal or sensitive information. It should never be exposed or misused.

Maintaining an ethical stance helps preserve trust across the digital ecosystem and ensures long-term viability of web scraping as a business tool.

How to Practice Ethical Web Scraping

To make your web scraping efforts both effective and ethical, consider the following best practices:

Review Website Policies: Always check the site’s terms of service and robots.txt file before scraping.

Limit Request Frequency: Sending too many requests at once can overload a website’s server. Adding delays between requests is a respectful practice.

Anonymize Sensitive Data: If your project involves sharing scraped data, make sure it does not expose personal information.

Use Reliable Tools and Secure Platforms: Implement scraping on well-developed systems that adhere to best practices in coding and data security.

Image Optimization:

Use appropriate formats (JPEG for photos, PNG for sharp images, WebP for modern compression).

Compress images without losing quality using tools like TinyPNG.

Use responsive images and lazy loading for better mobile performance.

What is LCP, INP, and CLS?

Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): Measures how long it takes for the largest element on the page to load. Aim for an LCP under 2.5 seconds.

Interaction to Next Paint (INP): Measures the delay between a user’s interaction and the next visual change. Keep INP under 200 milliseconds.

Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): Measures visual stability. A good CLS score is under 0.1, ensuring content doesn’t shift unexpectedly.

Tips for Mobile-Friendliness and Responsiveness

Use responsive design to ensure your website adapts to all screen sizes.

Optimize touch elements (buttons, links) for easy tapping on mobile.

Prioritize performance with optimized images and fast loading times.

Simplify navigation with mobile-friendly menus and make text readable without zooming.
