Extension summary

By default, Googlebot will index a page and follow links to it.

You can use a special HTML <META> tag to tell robots not to index the content of a page, and/or not scan it for links to follow.

For example:

<html> <head> <title>...</title> <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"> </head>

In the majority of cases this is only used on development or staging sites and not used on live websites.

This extension generates a notification if a robots meta tag is found with either "noindex" or "nofollow" in the contents.

User reviews

These summaries are automatically generated weekly using AI based on recent user reviews. Chrome Web Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate, spammy, or outdated.
