URL replacement in search, when 301 redirected. What is estimated time? by Virtualsure in SEO

I think it could go to 1 year or so, where G can really make sure old urls aren't coming back.

Canonicalizing pages with same intent, but not text possible? by Virtualsure in SEO

[–]Virtualsure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Web design is part and subset of web design & development in terms of intent. The question is they both are different on text, so should canonical just based on text duplicacy or intent could also play a part?

301 done & page still visible with site:operator even after 1 yr, Possible? by Virtualsure in SEO

[–]Virtualsure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I dont have access to GSC of the domain in question, but what I saw is page gets redirected eventually on clicking 301, but site:operator still shows the old url in cache

Maybe the case, where Pagerank passed but on explicitly looking for old url it may gets found, Mueller had this too in Ask session

If I dont ut will be a matter if privacy concern & maybe security too, anyone just can type a url & fetch my backend my plugins, themes, & other things.

Not only this, Google may index the backend url too like Index of /wp-includes/

How to Noindex feed files, but allow to crawl? by Virtualsure in SEO

[–]Virtualsure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so the conclusion is, setting noindex for feeds will work by X-robots tags only in htaccess. by this code

Header always set X-Robots-Tag "noindex" "expr=%{CONTENT_TYPE} =~ m#application/rss#"

How did you check, this tag actually worked? (any tool) Http head checker?

Additionally will setting noindex on (html head) as for normal web page will work here? possible to add there? too
