Noindex Tag
Checks for noindex meta tags or headers that might block search engines.
What is this check?
A `noindex` directive is a command that tells search engines not to include a specific page in their search results. It can be placed in a `<meta>` tag in the HTML or in the HTTP headers.
Why is it important?
It's used for pages you don't want to appear in search results, like internal admin pages, thank-you pages, or thin content.
What is the impact?
If this tag is accidentally placed on an important page, that page will be completely removed from search engine results, leading to a total loss of organic traffic to that page.
Example Implementation
<!-- HTML Meta Tag -->
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">
// HTTP Header
X-Robots-Tag: noindex, follow
