robots.txt - cache disallowed

[keat]

In Robots.txt I see

Disallow: /images/cache

 

Is there any reason why cache is disallowed.

It seems to be having some sort of issues with google fetch and render.

This is the folder that templates gets populated with - the various sizes of the images - that the browser makes requests to when requesting page resources.

So, when indexing your site for "descriptive content", I conclude there is no reason to request the page's resources as there is nothing descriptive in them.

However, we know Google is indexing images. So, allowing the folder when Google is wanting to associate your images with the page it is found on, if you wanted Google to index your images, I would think that allowing this would be a good thing.
