Why Optimize your Shopify robots.txt?

Shopify stores automatically generate hundreds of dynamic filter and sorting URLs (e.g., `?sort_by=price-ascending`). Search engines like Google bot will waste valuable time indexing these duplicate lists rather than indexing your actual products.

Adding `Disallow: /*?*sort_by=*` tells Google to ignore duplicate views. This ensures your crawl budget is spent entirely on high-value collection pages and blog posts, increasing your index speeds.
