[MAINTENANCE] Check robots.txt referrals between ror-app and ror-site #229

Open amandafrench opened 8 months ago

Service/repository ror-app, ror-site

Describe the current state/issue Google Search Console reports that ROR web UI pages are allowed to be crawled, even though the ror search app has a robots.txt that is supposed to be disallowing crawlers.

Describe the desired state/solution

ROR searches and landing pages disallow web crawlers.

Additional notes

Problem may be that redirection of requests only causes requests that look like ROR IDs to go to ror-app. Need to add robots.txt to ror-site and check whether we can regex for ROR ID.
