rendering.noindex-removed-by-js

WarningSEO audit--render

The server HTML says noindex but JavaScript removes it. Google honours the server noindex and skips rendering, so the page stays out of the index.

What to change

Remove noindex from the server HTML if the page should be indexed.

The documentation on developers.google.com

A finding of this rule on a page carries the exact edits for that page: the markup it quotes, and what to write instead.

When it runs

Runs with --render, on the command or the local server. A warning is a problem that costs a page ranking, clicks or citations. Each finding takes 5 points off the page's score.

The severity here is the rule's usual one: a finding can be raised or lowered when the page gives a reason.

Run it, or skip it

Check a page for this rule alone, after a fix for instance:

npx @rivi-software/agentic-seo-check audit https://example.com --render --rule rendering.noindex-removed-by-js

Or from an assistant, with the MCP tool seo_audit_page:

{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "render": true,
  "rules": [
    "rendering.noindex-removed-by-js"
  ]
}

To leave it out of an audit, pass --disable rendering.noindex-removed-by-js on the command, or disableRules: ["rendering.noindex-removed-by-js"] to a tool.
