    Hi NaNEdi,

     

    I'm not sure what do you meant by "Countly site". Could you please clarify it, and/or give us some examples?

    In this case, you can add the "noindex" tag on the <head> of your site.

    <meta name="robots" content="noindex">

    It would look like this:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html><head>
    <meta name="robots" content="noindex" />
    (…)
    </head>
    <body>(…)</body>
    </html>

    The robots meta tag in the above example instructs search engines not to show the page in search results. For more info, you can refer to this article, or submit your question here and we'll help you.

    Hi NanEdi,

    I found a better and safer solution to do this:

    You can add this line to your NGINX config, under location /:

    add_header X-Robots-Tag "noindex, nofollow, nosnippet, noarchive";

    Please let me know if you have any other questions!
