ShippedChange check — first crawl stores a baseline

X-Robots-Tag noindex added

What this page tests

Check X-Robots-Tag noindex (indexability.x_robots_noindex), alert indexability.x_robots_noindex.

Monitored pages gained an X-Robots-Tag noindex header. That can remove them from Google’s index even if the HTML looks indexable.

Why it matters

Monitored pages gained an X-Robots-Tag noindex header. That can remove them from Google’s index even if the HTML looks indexable.

How the fail is produced

Sends X-Robots-Tag: noindex while the HTML robots meta stays indexable.

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.
