Page is set to noindex

A noindex directive removes this page from search results entirely. Usually intentional on staging — frequently shipped to production by accident.

Why it matters

noindex completely removes the page from Google results. Confirm this is intentional — staging environments often ship noindex into production by accident.

Example fix

<!-- Remove this to allow indexing -->\n<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />\n\n<!-- Replace with -->\n<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
