HTML META TAGREADY TO USE
Important: A meta robots tag only works when search engines can access and crawl the page. If a URL is blocked in robots.txt, crawlers may not see its meta tag. Do not use noindex as a replacement for robots.txt or canonical tags.
SEO tip: For most normal public pages, the default index, follow behavior is appropriate. Use noindex carefully for pages you do not want to appear in search results. Robots directives are instructions to crawlers, not access-control or security mechanisms.
