Defaults for robots meta tag


If I don't specify a robots meta tag in the head of the document, the defaults are:

<meta name="robots" content="index,follow">

My question is, if I only specify "noindex", is the default still "follow"? So if I specify this below, is the default still follow?

<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

Solution

  • Yes, by only specifying the noindex, it will still be follow. More information can be found [here]{https://developers.google.com/webmasters/control-crawl-index/docs/robots_meta_tag}
