<p><strong>Simple SEO Noindex Toggle</strong> gives you precise, per-content control over which posts and pages are indexed by search engines — without the overhead of a full SEO plugin suite.</p>
<p>In one click, you can exclude any post or page from search engine indexes using the standard <code><meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"></code> tag. Every feature is built around a clean admin UI, WordPress coding standards, and zero unnecessary dependencies.</p>
<h3>How to Verify the Plugin Is Working</h3>
<p>There are three ways to confirm the noindex tag is active on the frontend:</p>
<p><strong>Method 1 — Built-in Tag Verifier (recommended)</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Enable the Noindex toggle on a published post and save.</li>
<li>In the editor, click <strong>Verify Tag in Source</strong> in the SEO Settings meta box.</li>
<li>A green ✓ Confirmed result appears, showing the exact tag found in the live page source.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Method 2 — View Page Source</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Visit the published post on the frontend.</li>
<li>Right-click <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> <strong>View Page Source</strong> (or press <code>Ctrl+U</code> / <code>Cmd+U</code>).</li>
<li>Press <code>Ctrl+F</code> and search for <code>noindex</code>.</li>
<li>The tag <code><meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" /></code> appears near the top of <code><head></code>.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Method 3 — Google Search Console</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Open <strong>URL Inspection</strong> in Google Search Console.</li>
<li>Paste the post URL and click <strong>Test Live URL</strong>.</li>
<li>Under <strong>Page Indexing</strong>, Google reports: <em>“Page is not indexed — noindex tag detected”</em>.</li>
<li>Under <strong>HTTP response <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Detected meta tags</strong>, the robots tag is listed explicitly.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Method 4 — site: Search Operator</strong></p>
<p>After Google recrawls the page (typically 24–72 hours), searching <code>site:yourdomain.com/post-slug</code> on Google returns no results, confirming the page has been de-indexed.</p>
