# robots.txt for moz.com — corrected by CrawlCheck, 2026-09-03
# Source: the file the site served at the time. Every change is listed here; nothing else was touched.
# Changes:
#   - 4 named groups lacked Disallow lines the * group carries. A crawler obeys only its own most specific group and ignores *, so those rules never applied to it. Copied in.
# Verify after publishing: curl -sI https://moz.com/robots.txt must show text/plain, on the bare URL, with no cache-buster.
