Have you ever wondered how to hide your WordPress website from search engines? Maybe your website is under construction, or maybe you don't want your competitors to see what you're doing. Whatever your reason, there are a few simple methods that will enable you to hide your WordPress site from search engines.
1. Block search engines using WordPress settings
The easiest way to block search engines from accessing your site is to use the built-in WordPress feature. To do this, log in to your WordPress account, then go to "Settings" -> "Reading Room". There you will find the "Discreet" option. Check the box "Please do not allow search engines to index this page" and save your changes.
2. Use the robots.txt file
Another method is to use the robots.txt file. This file gives you the ability to block specific sections of the page from being indexed by search engines. The robots.txt file should be placed in the main directory of your website (i.e. in the public_html directory). In WordPress, you can do this yourself or with a plugin like Yoast SEO. Below is an example code that blocks access to the entire page:
User-agent: * Disallow: /3. Use the "noindex" meta tag
If you want to block only specific pages from being indexed, you can use the "noindex" meta tag. You can do this by adding the following code to the head section of your page:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />4. Use a crawl blocking plugin
There are many WordPress plugins available on the market that allow you to block search engines from indexing your page. An example of this is the “Hide My Site” plugin. Once installed, the plugin will automatically add a “noindex” meta tag to every page on your site.
5. Block indexing with .htaccess
Another way is to use the .htaccess file. This file is available in the root directory of your WordPress site. You can add the following code to it to block indexing by search engines:
Header set X-Robots-Tag "noindex, nofollow"All of these methods can help block search engines from accessing your WordPress site. Choose the one that suits you best and use it on your website. Remember, however, that blocking your page from being indexed by search engines should only be temporary. Long-term indexing blocking may negatively impact your website's visibility in search results, which may harm your online business.
