This is an informational warning. Your robots tag is set to `noindex, follow`. This tells search engines not to show this page in search results, but to still crawl the links on it and pass SEO value to them. While this is a valid directive, it's a less common combination. It's worth double-checking that this is your intended goal.
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">Confirm that this is the desired behavior. This setup is often used for pages like paginated archives or internal search results, where you don't want the page itself to rank, but you do want the links on it to be discovered. If you want to prevent both indexing and link crawling, you should use `noindex, nofollow`.
Understanding and correctly using robots directives is crucial for controlling how search engines crawl and index your site, which is a fundamental part of technical SEO.
This issue can affect your site's search engine rankings and user experience. Addressing it promptly helps ensure optimal performance and visibility in search results.
