Noindex and robots.txt: decide what stays accessible and indexable
Preventing crawling and requesting exclusion from results are different decisions. First decide whether a page should remain available to readers.
GUIDES / 2026

Technical 01
Preventing crawling and requesting exclusion from results are different decisions. First decide whether a page should remain available to readers.
Technical 02
The historical post introduced a crawl-tracking plugin. A current method should establish what was requested, by whom and with which response, without assuming that the earlier tool is maintained today.
Technical 03
Reading a rule does not repair a page. Connect each defect to a test, an owner and observable evidence after a change.
Technical 04
Start with the purpose of each address. Another domain only deserves an independent site when it offers a distinct product, audience or practical service.
Technical 05
A commercial link can help a reader when it is relevant and clearly identified. Treat it as an advertising relationship rather than independent proof of quality.
Technical 06
A fast page becomes readable, responds to input and keeps its layout stable. A laboratory result is diagnostic; real experience also depends on devices and networks.
Technical 07
Old Flash sites raised a question that still matters: does the content exist outside the animation? A JavaScript interface also needs accessible answers and stable URLs.
Technical 08
Search interfaces change, but accessible, accurate and sourced information is still concrete work. No special markup guarantees inclusion in a generative answer.
Technical 09
A 2009 book announcement is not current product documentation. This preparation method focuses on content, URLs and responsibilities that need to last.
Technical 10
A redirect describes a move and whether it is temporary or permanent. The correct choice also depends on the request method and destination service.
Technical 11
A sitemap is a discovery list. Build it from published pages, then compare the list with HTTP responses and canonical decisions.
Technical 12
A migration should preserve content, links and user journeys. Map destinations before switching and retain a version you can restore.
Technical 13
A wire story, press release and republication can share passages while serving different needs. Clarify each page’s role before deleting or consolidating it.
Technical 14
A group of websites may share infrastructure. Central generation can help operations, but every URL still needs the correct hostname and owner.
Technical 15
The right choice depends on private training, public communication or commercial distribution. Test the complete journey and an exit from the service before committing.
Technical 16
Low-code can shorten development, but access, maintenance and export still matter. Evaluate a small representative journey before building the entire system.
Technical 17
A prototype demonstrates an idea; a production tool must handle errors, access and change. Decide what a pilot needs to teach before entrusting it with a real process.
Technical 18
Immersive spaces should help people compare or understand products. Preserve a simple accessible journey when a 3D scene is unavailable.
Technical 19
A useful audit connects each issue to a page, a possible effect and a verifiable action. A long generic recommendation list is not an implementation roadmap.
Technical 20
A website should stay readable and functional under different conditions. Turn design intentions into checks on actually rendered pages.
Technical 21
Usable databases need definitions, permissions and checks. Before connecting a tool, explain which information is necessary and who can correct it.
Technical 22
Digitisation should retain content that can be consulted and reused. Define source condition, delivered formats and checks before choosing a provider or storage medium.
Technical 23
A sitemap does not replace editorial navigation. Build useful paths to older material and verify that each route reaches the correct document.
