How to use this skill

Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.

  1. Open your project in Codex.
  2. Copy and paste the prompt below.
  3. Review files and risks before approving any action.
Prompt to paste
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist/blob/HEAD/skills/all-noindex-pages/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/all-noindex-pages, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.

Copying this prompt does not install or run the skill. Review third-party files before use.

Audit all noindex pages

An incorrect noindex tag can completely remove important pages from search results, while proper usage helps manage crawl budget and prevents duplicate content issues.

Quick Reference

  • Identify all pages using the noindex directive in meta tags or headers
  • Verify that critical pages (products, articles) aren't accidentally blocked
  • Ensure noindex is correctly applied to thin content, admin, or utility pages

Check

Verify that the noindex directive is only applied to pages that should not appear in search results.

Fix

Remove <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> from pages that should be indexed and ranking.

Explain

Explain the difference between noindex and disallow in robots.txt and when to use each for optimal SEO.

Code Review

Review metadata generation, rendered HTML, structured data, and response headers related to Audit all noindex pages. Flag exact routes or templates where search-facing output violates the rule, and describe how to verify the final page output.
