# YandexRenderResourcesBot

> 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.
