Web crawlers scan websites to index them for search engine results. Learn how to hide your entire website or specific pages from search engines while keeping them accessible to visitors.

Block All Search Engine Crawlers

To hide your entire website from search engines:

1. Go to Settings > Crawlers
2. Check "Block Search Engine Crawlers"
3. This adds a robots.txt rule preventing search engine indexing

Hide Specific Pages

You can prevent individual pages from appearing in search results using two methods:

1. Page Settings Method (Recommended)

• Available on all subscriptions
• No coding required
• Removes page from sitemap
• Cannot be used on homepage
• Enabled on demo pages

To implement:

1. Open Pages menu
2. Hover over page and click settings
3. Go to SEO tab
4. Toggle "Hide Page from Search Results"

2. Code Injection Method

• Requires Business Plan or higher
• Requires manual code addition
• Page stays in sitemap
• Works on homepage
• Must add noindex meta tag to header

Important Notes:

• Hiding a collection page also hides all its content (products, blog posts, etc.)
• Cannot hide individual collection items without hiding entire collection
• Hiding an index page doesn't hide its subpages
• Pages remain visible in site search
• Hidden pages stay accessible to direct visitors

These methods only affect external search engine visibility and don't impact your website's accessibility to regular visitors.

Remember that custom code modifications fall outside official support scope and may require updates after platform changes.
