Conflicting nofollow signals

How to fix it

Decide which directive is correct, then remove the other.

Sibling checks in this category

• Page is noindex - The page sets robots noindex. Search engines will not include it in results.
• Page-level nofollow - All outbound links on this page are flagged nofollow at the page level, breaking internal link equity.
• noindex, follow - The page is noindex but follow. Often intentional, occasionally a leftover that hides ranking content.
• noindex, nofollow - The page blocks both indexing and link following. Inbound link authority is wasted.
