Meta Tags & Robots.txt

Good Gallery supports several common HTML meta tags and automatically manages your robots.txt file.

NOARCHIVE

The tag <meta name="robots" content="noarchive" /> is included on all Good Gallery websites. This tag indicates that a cached preview copy of your page should not be stored in the search engine index.

The primary benefit to including this tag on your website is that your content cannot be scraped from the Google cache by companies who use automated tools.

This restriction helps reduce the amount of copied website content that might appear on other websites. This tag also prevents visitor access to conflicting historical content if you have recently changed information on your website.

There is no SEO penalty for including the noarchive tag on your website. Search engines will index the page and display snippets in search engine results.

Robots.txt

The robots exclusion standard, commonly known as robots.txt, is a file that provides instructions for search engines and crawlers.

The robots.txt file for your website is generated automatically. This file includes information about the location of your sitemap.xml file and specific instructions for automated tools and search engines.

Note: An incorrectly configured robots.txt file can negatively impact the performance of your website. To prevent common mistakes, Good Gallery customers do not have write access to the robots.txt file.
