Is it normal for all of my pages to be shown as non-indexable when using the Screaming Frog SEO spider in Webflow?
It is not normal for all of your pages to be shown as non-indexable when using the Screaming Frog SEO spider in Webflow. If you are experiencing this issue, there are a few things you can try to resolve it:
Check your robots.txt file: Make sure that your robots.txt file is not blocking search engine crawlers from accessing your pages. In Webflow, you can go to the Project Settings > SEO tab to view and edit your robots.txt file. Make sure that it allows search engines to crawl your website.
Check your page settings: In Webflow, you have control over whether your pages are indexable or not. Check the page settings for each of your pages within the Webflow Designer to ensure that they are set to "index" and not "noindex". To access the page settings, click on the page in the Navigator panel and go to the SEO tab in the right sidebar.
Check your site settings: In some cases, the issue might be with the site-wide settings in Webflow. Go to the Project Settings > SEO tab and make sure that the "Enable search engine indexing" option is turned on.
Check for any conflicting code: If you have added custom code to your website, such as JavaScript or meta tags, there might be a conflict that is causing your pages to be shown as non-indexable. Double-check your code to ensure that it is not interfering with search engine crawling.
By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the issue of your pages being shown as non-indexable. It is important to have your pages indexable so that search engines can crawl and index your content, which is crucial for organic visibility and search engine rankings.
