Rendering and robot rules

Applebot may render the content of your website within a browser. If javascript, CSS, and other resources are blocked via robots.txt, it may not be able to render the content properly. This includes XHR, JS, and CSS that the page might require.

In order for Applebot to index the best content for the page, make sure that everything needed for a user to render the page is available to Applebot. Alternatively, make sure that the website renders cleanly, even if all of the resources are not available. This is often referred to as graceful degradation.

Customizing indexing rules for Applebot

Applebot supports robots meta tags in HTML documents. To specify robots rules in meta tags, put the tags in the <head> section of the document, like this:

  • nofollow: Applebot won't follow any links on the page.
  • none: Applebot won't index, snippet, or follow links on the page, as described above.
  • all: Applebot provides the document for suggestions and snippets the contents so that a short description of the page can appear next to a representative image. Applebot may follow links on the page to provide more suggestions.
