✅ Block unwanted URLs from being indexed
✅ Allow or disallow specific crawlers (like Googlebot, Bingbot)
✅ Improve site SEO and crawl budget management
✅ Protect sensitive content (checkout, cart, admin paths)
✅ Easy to install, no app required — pure Liquid solution
Whether you want to block duplicate content pages, control access to internal search results, or customize crawling for international markets, this plugin provides full flexibility.
