The X-Robots-Tag is an HTTP header that helps control how search engines index your web content. It allows you to tell search engine bots whether to show specific files, like PDFs or images, in search results and if they should follow links inside them. You can use it to block indexing, prevent caching, or stop snippets from appearing. By using this tag wisely, you can manage duplicate content and keep sensitive info hidden while boosting your site’s SEO performance.
