    Hi, I have set a couple of pages on my site as noindex. How do I know for sure that it is working? I can still find them through google search. Thanks.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    You can use a tool such as this one to find out if the pages are noindex: https://seositecheckup.com/tools/noindex-tag-test

    ​​​​​​Please note that Google will take time to de-index those pages and it can take several weeks for them to stop appearing on SERPs.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

    Thanks, I will monitor it. By the way, is there a way to noindex feeds?

    Hello,

    Sure, do let us know how that goes.

    As for the feed pages, feeds are not like regular pages so you cannot noindex them. However, you can disallow them in your robots.txt file at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Edit Robots.txt like this:

    User-Agent: *
    Disallow: */feed/

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.
