# The three Disallow lines that used to sit here (/me/, /D730492D, # /payment-success) were removed on purpose, and this is counter-intuitive # enough to be worth writing down. # # Disallow stops CRAWLING, not INDEXING. A disallowed URL can still be indexed # from links alone - that is where a bare "Sign in" result with no description # comes from. Worse, the two directives work against each other: those routes # now carry , and Google has to # FETCH a page to see that tag. Disallow blocks the fetch, so the noindex is # never read and the URL stays in the index indefinitely. # # So the order is: noindex first and crawlable, let Google re-crawl and drop # them, and only once Search Console confirms the URLs are out should the # Disallow lines come back to save the crawl budget. Re-adding them before # then freezes the stale results in place. User-Agent: * Allow: / Sitemap: https://www.refontelearning.com/sitemap.xml Sitemap: https://www.refontelearning.com/sitemap-images.xml
