What it is

Loads the CSS, JavaScript and images Yandex needs to render a page. Yandex documents the exact rule: it ignores robots.txt for a resource when the HTML page using it is allowed, and does not fetch the resource when that page is disallowed.

What blocking it costs you

Yandex renders your pages without their stylesheets or scripts and ranks what it sees. This is the classic accidental self-inflicted ranking loss.
