Config Using Route Rules

If you prefer, you can use route rules to configure how your routes are indexed by search engines.

You can provide the following rules:

• { robots: false } - Will disable the route from being indexed using the robotsDisabledValue config.
• { robots: '<rule>' } - Will add the provided string as the robots rule

The rules are applied using the following logic:

• X-Robots-Tag header - SSR only,
• <meta name="robots"> - When using the defineRobotMeta or RobotMeta composable or component
• /robots.txt disallow entry - When disallowNonIndexableRoutes is enabled

Inline Route Rules

Requires enabling the experimental inlineRouteRules, see the defineRouteRules documentation to learn more.

<script lang="ts" setup>
defineRouteRules({
  robots: false,
})
</script>

Nuxt Config

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  routeRules: {
    // use the `index` shortcut for simple rules
    '/secret/**': { robots: false },
    // add exceptions for individual routes
    '/secret/visible': { robots: true },
    // use the `robots` rule if you need finer control
    '/custom-robots': { robots: 'index, follow' },
  }
})
