No noindex directive

SEOWeight 2.5% (This check's share of the SEO score)Score 100

What this is

Whether the page is marked "do not index" (noindex), either in the page code or in the server's response.

Why it matters

With noindex, Google won't show the page in search results at all, so every other improvement is wasted. It's often left over from when the site was being built.

What counts as passing

Passes when neither the page's robots setting nor the server's X-Robots-Tag contains noindex; fails if either does.

Suggestion

Pro plan only

Remove noindex directive

This page is blocked from indexing via noindex. If the page should rank, remove the directive from the meta robots tag and/or the X-Robots-Tag response header.
