Definition: X-Robots-Tag

The X-Robots-Tag is an HTTP header that provides a way for website owners to control how their pages are crawled and indexed by search engines and other robots. The header can specify which actions the robots should take, such as indexing the page or following links, or which parts of the page, such as the images or content, should be ignored. This information can be useful for avoiding duplication, protecting sensitive information, and improving the efficiency of the search engines’ crawl process.
