How To No Index Lost Username & Password pages?

[41global]

Hello,

Is there any way to no-index the default pages created without using a 3rd party SEO tool? I currently have no menu items created for these pages but they have been created by other links I believe and just wondering if there is any way on the backend to no index these pages:

/lost-user-name.html
/lost-password.html
/create-an-account.html

Would I basically need to actually create menu items and then no index the items there?

Thanks for your help

You could use the Global Configuration to set Metadata / Robots to noindex/nofollow. But then you would have to set it for every menu item you want indexed. Probably not worth it!

Deny them in robots.txt

use robots.txt to mark pages for no index. add this:

Disallow: /example-page-1/
Disallow: /example-page-2/
Noindex: /example-page-1/
Noindex: /example-page-2/

Unfortunately many bots do not obey robots txt...

Heelo,

You can use a sitemap that contains all the pages you don't want indexed.
Good luck !

To noindex lost username and password pages:

Add "noindex" meta tags: In the HTML of those pages, insert <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"> to prevent search engines from indexing them.

Robots.txt: Block search engine access to those pages in your robots.txt file by adding a Disallow rule.

Remember to test and ensure that your pages are correctly noindexed to maintain privacy and security.

Waste of time...
