About This Check

Checks whether the page has a noindex directive in meta robots. Noindex prevents search engines and AI systems from indexing the page.

Why This Matters

LLM Discoverability

The noindex directive is respected by most AI crawlers as a strong opt-out signal; pages carrying it are typically removed from AI training datasets and excluded from RAG pipelines.

SEO Impact

noindex is an absolute bar to inclusion in Google's index; any page carrying this directive earns zero organic impressions regardless of its backlink profile or content quality.
