NoIndexer gives you full control over which content gets a <code>noindex</code> robots directive, telling search engines not to include it in their results. No bloated SEO plugin needed — just clean, focused noindex management.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Bulk noindex by content type — Set entire post types (pages, posts, products, etc.) as noindex with a single checkbox.</li>
<li>Bulk noindex by taxonomy — Set entire taxonomy archives (categories, tags, product attributes, etc.) as noindex with a single checkbox. Works with all public taxonomies, including WooCommerce product categories, tags, and attributes (requires “Enable Archives?” in WooCommerce attribute settings).</li>
<li>Smart exclusions — When a content type or taxonomy is set to noindex, exclude specific posts or terms that should remain indexed.</li>
<li>Individual noindex — Set noindex on specific posts or taxonomy terms without affecting the entire content type or taxonomy.</li>
<li>Instant search — Find content and terms quickly with a live search field in the settings page. Click to add, click to remove.</li>
<li>Editor integration — Noindex checkbox available in both the Classic Editor and Block Editor sidebar.</li>
<li>Quick Edit — Toggle noindex directly from the post list table without opening the editor.</li>
<li>Bulk actions — Set or remove noindex on multiple posts at once from the post list.</li>
<li>Index? column — See at a glance which posts are noindexed in your content lists.</li>
<li>Search results noindex — Prevent internal search result pages from being indexed.</li>
<li>404 pages noindex — Keep 404 error pages out of search indexes.</li>
<li>Date archives noindex — Noindex daily, monthly, and yearly archive pages.</li>
<li>Paginated archives noindex — Noindex /page/2/, /page/3/ and beyond for all archives.</li>
<li>Attachment pages noindex — Noindex media attachment pages created by WordPress.</li>
<li>Author archives noindex — Noindex author archive pages.</li>
<li>Native sitemap integration — Automatically excludes noindexed content from the native WordPress sitemap. Posts, post types, taxonomy terms, and taxonomy archives marked as noindex are removed from the sitemap without needing any additional plugin.</li>
<li>Lightweight — No unnecessary features, no frontend scripts, no database tables. Just a meta tag when needed.</li>
</ul>
How it works:
NoIndexer adds a <code><meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow"></code> tag to the <code><head></code> of posts and taxonomy archives set as noindex. This tells search engines not to index the page while still following its links.
Priority logic for posts:
<ol>
<li>Individual noindex always applies.</li>
<li>Post type bulk noindex applies unless the post is specifically excluded.</li>
<li>Exclusions override the bulk setting for specific posts.</li>
</ol>
Priority logic for taxonomy archives:
<ol>
<li>Individual term noindex always applies.</li>
<li>Taxonomy bulk noindex applies unless the term is specifically excluded.</li>
<li>Exclusions override the bulk setting for specific terms.</li>
</ol>
Do you really need a full SEO plugin?
Most WordPress sites don’t need a 100-feature SEO plugin just to manage noindex rules or customize a sitemap. WordPress already generates a native sitemap and a robots.txt file — the two core pieces search engines need to crawl your site properly.
NoIndexer handles the noindex side: decide which content should stay out of search results. It also automatically excludes noindexed content from the native WordPress sitemap, so search engines won’t find it there either. If you need additional sitemap customization beyond noindex — like excluding specific content that is indexed but shouldn’t appear in the sitemap — <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/native-sitemap-customizer/" rel="ugc">Native Sitemap Customizer</a> is the perfect companion. Together with the robots.txt that WordPress generates automatically, you have everything essential for technical SEO — no bloat, no unused features, no performance overhead.
Third-party integration:
Developers can check noindex status using:
<ul>
<li><code>Noindexer_Frontend::is_noindex( $post_id )</code> — returns <code>true</code> if a post should not be indexed.</li>
<li><code>Noindexer_Frontend::is_term_noindex( $term_id, $taxonomy )</code> — returns <code>true</code> if a taxonomy term archive should not be indexed.</li>
</ul>
Both methods resolve the full priority logic (individual meta, bulk rules, and exclusions).

NoIndexer

Lightweight SEO noindex manager for WordPress. Control which content search engines should not index.

Multisite search visibility indicator is a lightweight plugin that keeps you informed at a glance whether your site — or any site in your network — is accidentally blocking search engines.
WordPress has a built-in setting under Settings → Reading called “Search Engine Visibility”. When enabled, it adds a <code>noindex</code> directive that tells search engines not to index your site. This is easy to accidentally leave on after development, and notoriously hard to notice.
This plugin adds a persistent indicator to the WordPress toolbar so you never miss it again.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Toolbar indicator visible to administrators at all times (front-end and back-end)</li>
<li>Color-coded status: green when search engines are allowed, yellow/red when blocked</li>
<li>Multisite ready: shows a per-site breakdown across your entire network</li>
<li>Each site in the dropdown links directly to its Reading Settings for a one-click fix</li>
<li>Bulk management page (Multisite only): allow or discourage search engines across all — or selected — sites in a single action</li>
<li>Zero configuration required — install and it just works</li>
<li>No external dependencies, no tracking, no bloat</li>
</ul>
<h4>Multisite Bulk Management</h4>
On a Multisite installation the plugin adds a Search Engine Visibility page under Network Admin → Settings. From there you can:
<ol>
<li>See every site in the network and its current visibility status</li>
<li>Select individual sites or all sites at once</li>
<li>Apply “Allow search engines” or “Discourage search engines” in one click</li>
</ol>
<h4>Who is this for?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Agencies managing WordPress Multisite networks</li>
<li>Developers who frequently spin up and hand off sites</li>
<li>Site owners who want a quick sanity check without digging through settings</li>
</ul>
