Robots Meta & X-Robots-Tag Inspector — frequently asked questions
What is the difference between meta robots and X-Robots-Tag?
The `<meta name="robots">` tag is placed inside the HTML `<head>` and applies only to that specific HTML document. The `X-Robots-Tag` is an HTTP header returned by the web server that can control indexing for non-HTML files (such as PDFs, images, or API endpoints) as well as regular pages.
What directives does this tool analyze?
The inspector analyzes `noindex`, `nofollow`, `noarchive`, `nosnippet`, `noimageindex`, `notranslate`, `max-snippet`, `max-image-preview`, and `unavailable_after` across general robots, Googlebot, and Bingbot configurations.
How can an accidental noindex tag damage SEO?
If a developer accidentally leaves a `<meta name="robots" content="noindex">` tag on a production page (often copied from staging environments), Google and Bing will remove the page from search results entirely. This tool catches such mistakes immediately.
Does this tool inspect both the HTML head and HTTP response headers?
Yes. When analyzing a live URL, both the HTTP headers and page source are inspected to identify conflicting directives (for instance, an HTTP header allowing indexing while the HTML tag blocks it).
Is my target website data logged or saved?
No. Sada Files never saves target URLs, headers, or HTML contents. All diagnostic evaluations run statelessly and in memory.
