Prevent Search Engines From Indexing A Page
The robots.txt file is commonly used to tell (well-behaved) crawlers, such as search engines, to not visit a page. If another page links to your page, it will still be indexed. To instruct search engines to not index a given page, robot meta tags need to be used.
If you want to reliably block a page from showing up in the search results, you need to use a meta robots
noindextag. That means that, in order to find thenoindextag, the search engine has to be able to access that page, so don’t block it withrobots.txt. source
To prevent indexing, add the following meta tag to the <head> section of any relevant pages.
