I recommend to remove this line:
Disallow: /modules/
Because when modules permalinks are off, then all module content begins with http://your.site.com/modules/index.php?r=/abc/de/, as the result most of your site content will not be indexed.

So, please remove this line or make a notice regarding modules permalinks setting.

Thank you AlexT.
I have just edited and deleted Disallow: /modules/ line from blog post.

I've never been 100% convinced that having a robots.txt file is the right thing to do. I never liked the fact that it makes it easy for hackers to see the directory paths that you are trying to protect.

Thank you, so mutch

Hi UFO360,
robots.txt file - is used for allow or deny indexing content by search engine boots.
meta tag - are used for some information about page as keywords, description, author.
I suppose Dolphin script should use robots.txt file and meta tag together
