Page tells search engines not to follow its links

Medium priorityOn-page SEO

A robots meta tag with nofollow stops ranking signals flowing from this page to every page it links to.

What triggers this issue

• nofollow (or none) found in the page’s robots meta tag.

Why it matters

Page-level nofollow applies to every link on the page, including your own navigation. Pages linked only from here may be crawled less and pass on no authority.

It is rarely intended on public pages.

How to fix it

1. Remove nofollow from the robots meta tag.
2. To discourage specific links, add rel="nofollow" to those links only.
