noindex nofollow on the cart page

[Kuubs]

Hello,

I have a weird issue. I have a Cart menu link, which I set to noindex nofollow, but that meta tag is not inserted into the actual cart page. Anyone has an idea how to do this?

Hi,

you can do it in your .htaccess like so :
(just replace the word "cart" with your own cart link)

Code Select Expand


## NOINDEX NOFOLLOW
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.*)/cart$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [ENV=NOINDNOFO:true]
Header set X-Robots-Tag "noindex, nofollow" env=NOINDNOFO

This doesn't work.

You can add the rule in the robots.txt
Disallow: /cart/
I do not tested it, but most engine should use it

This is an option, but it's not great, because Google still indexes it. So the preferred optuon is the meta tag.

Google follow the robots.txt but if a page is already indexed, it get not removed directly if you do not remove it in the google console
This is same for meta tag noindex

I think that should be part in the core, or not?

Imho we solved that earlier by robots.txt. Provided in the fullinstaller, imho.
