Is excluding a page from site search results the only way to prevent it from being indexed or accessible via its URL in Webflow?

Excluding a page from site search results is one way to prevent it from being indexed or accessible via its URL in Webflow. However, there are other methods you can use to achieve the same result.

Here are some additional ways to prevent a page from being indexed or accessible:

1. Set the page to "No Index": By setting the page to "No Index" in the SEO settings, you can instruct search engines not to include the page in their search results. This can be done on individual pages or site-wide.

2. Password protection: You can password-protect a specific page so that it is only accessible to users who have the designated password. This prevents search engines from indexing the page and also restricts access to those without the password.

3. Robots.txt file: By updating the robots.txt file in Webflow, you can specify which pages or directories should be excluded from search engine indexing. This method gives you more granular control over which pages are visible to search engines.

4. 301 Redirect: If you want to permanently redirect a page to another location or remove it entirely, you can set up a 301 redirect. This tells search engines that the page has moved to a new URL and that they should update their index accordingly. This can be useful if you want to consolidate content or remove outdated pages from search results.

It's important to note that while these methods can prevent a page from being indexed, they do not completely hide the page from being accessed via its URL. Users who have the direct URL can still access the page unless you take additional steps, like password protection.

By using a combination of these methods, you can have more control over the visibility and accessibility of your pages in Webflow, ensuring that only the desired content is indexed and accessible to users.
