Noindex Redirect (Statamic Addon)

Disable indexing (noindex, nofollow) for your Statamic site and optionally redirect all frontend requests to another domain — managed from a Control Panel Utility.

Requirements

PHP ^8.2
Statamic ^5.0 (Statamic ^6.0 supported)

Installation

composer require emran-alhaddad/noindex-redirect

Control Panel Utility

Go to Control Panel → Utilities → Noindex Redirect.

Settings are stored in storage/app/noindex-redirect/settings.json and will override config/env values until you click Reset to config.

Configuration (optional)

Publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=noindex-redirect-config

Config path:

config/noindex-redirect.php

Environment variables:

NOINDEX_REDIRECT_DISABLE_INDEXING=true
NOINDEX_REDIRECT_ENABLE_REDIRECT=false
NOINDEX_REDIRECT_REDIRECT_URL=https://example.com
NOINDEX_REDIRECT_MANAGE_PUBLIC_ROBOTS_TXT=true

What it does

Disable Indexing

When enabled, the addon:

Adds X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow to frontend responses (excludes CP + GraphQL routes).
Injects <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"> into the HTML <head> for text/html responses.
Covers normal frontend pages and frontend 404/unmatched responses.
Optionally manages public/robots.txt (see below).
Still works even if Statamic frontend routes are disabled in config/statamic/routes.php.

robots.txt behavior

Some servers (including local dev setups) will serve public/robots.txt directly and bypass Laravel routes.

If NOINDEX_REDIRECT_MANAGE_PUBLIC_ROBOTS_TXT=true, the addon will:

Write a managed public/robots.txt when indexing is disabled (Disallow: /).
Back up any existing public/robots.txt to storage/app/noindex-redirect/robots.backup.txt before overriding it.
Restore the backup when indexing is re-enabled.

If the public directory is not writable, robots.txt syncing is skipped.

Redirect

When Enable Redirect is enabled and a redirect_url is set, all frontend GET/HEAD requests will be redirected (301) to the configured URL (path + query preserved).

Control Panel, !/ actions (including !/forms), and GraphQL routes are excluded.
