No-Index Page Demo

Robots directives for controlling search engine indexing behavior.

Robots Metanoindexnofollow

What is noindex?

The robots meta tag tells search engines whether to index a page and follow its links.

This page has noindex, follow set in its robots meta tag. This means:

  • noindex — Search engines will NOT include this page in search results
  • follow — Search engines WILL follow links on this page to discover other content
!

Common use cases for noindex: login pages, admin dashboards, internal tools, draft content, thank-you pages, paginated archives, and search result pages.
