Search optimisation
X-Robots-Tag header
No noindex in the X-Robots-Tag header
What we check
No noindex in the X-Robots-Tag header
Why it matters
A header-level noindex is invisible in the page source but just as final.
How to fix it
Remove noindex from the X-Robots-Tag response header.
How it affects your score
This check sits in Search optimisation, which is worth 25% of the overall score. A critical result costs the full weight of the check; a warning costs half. If we can't measure it on your page, we leave it out of the score entirely.
