Duplicate robots sources
What this page tests
Check Duplicate index directives (indexability.duplicate_directives), alert indexability.duplicate_robots.
Monitored pages newly expose multiple robots instruction sources — more than one robots/googlebot meta, or robots meta together with an X-Robots-Tag. Updating only one source later can leave conflicting crawl/index signals.
Why it matters
Monitored pages newly expose multiple robots instruction sources — more than one robots/googlebot meta, or robots meta together with an X-Robots-Tag. Updating only one source later can leave conflicting crawl/index signals.
How the fail is produced
Exposes robots meta plus an X-Robots-Tag header (two instruction sources).
This page is part of the TechDash Test Site used to exercise the TechDash desktop app. Each fixture isolates a single check so you can add one path at a time and see a clear pass or fail. Search engines and users rely on stable HTTP responses, index signals, metadata, and site files. When those signals drift, organic visibility, crawl efficiency, and measurement can all suffer. Keep the homepage as the healthy control origin, then monitor the specific path you want to fail. Substantial body copy is included so thin-content and soft-404 heuristics do not fire unless that is the intended test.
