ttttim Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Is there a way to hide your development site from search engines? Or is it a simple as adding the following code to the header? <meta name="robots" content="noindex">
arjen Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Hey Tim, There are several options: Install a module like Protected Mode or Maintenance Mode. This way bots won't crawl into your website since you have to be logged in. Use a robots.txt or the meta tags as you describe. I prefer option 1 since it's a matter of keeping everyone out except clients with an username and password. The disadvantage of option 2 is that you will have to remember to remove both when deploying to live. 3
