For client’s of Boostability, your Account Manager can address any concerns you have or changes needed.

Steps from Search Engine Land on how to fix your robots.txt file:

Look through the robots.txt file for any of the following lines of code:
Disallow: /.js$*
Disallow: /.inc$*
Disallow: /.css$*
Disallow: /.php$*
If you see any of those lines, remove them. That’s what’s blocking Googlebot from crawling the files it needs to render your site as other users can see it.

After these steps are completed, you’ll want to run your site through Google’s Fetch and Render tool to confirm the problem is fixed. If you are still experiencing problems, your Fetch and Render tool will provide further instructions on changes that need to be made.

In addition to Google’s Fetch tool, you can use the robots.txt tool in your Search Console to identify any remaining issues in crawling your website.
