    X-Robots-Tag Header Check

    Inspects HTTP headers for indexing directives like noindex and nofollow.

    High Priority

    What is this check?

    The X-Robots-Tag is an HTTP response header that controls how search engines crawl and index your page or specific assets (like PDFs or images).

    Why is it important?

    It overrides HTML meta tags. A 'noindex' directive here will block indexing even if the HTML says 'index, follow'. It's often used for non-HTML files where meta tags can't be used.

    What is the impact?

    Accidentally serving an X-Robots-Tag with 'noindex' will completely remove the resource from search results.
