Test a workaround to not mark a redirect page as noindex #324

Closed lfrancke closed 1 year ago

lfrancke commented 1 year ago

Antora automatically adds a noindex to redirect pages it creates automatically. @stackfab has a theory that this might lead to our docs not being indexed by Google (one data point: Bing successfully indexed all of it).

As this is hardcoded and I want to avoid running a patched version of Antora one thing we could try is some hack in Github Actions workflow after the build but before the deploy to change the generated page to remove the offending line.

See this discussion: https://antora.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/282400-users/topic/site.20start_page.20and.20noindex.20meta.20tag The site in question is https://docs.stackable.tech (NOT the site it redirects to! which would be https://docs.stackable.tech/home/stable/index.html )

The fix is live, but we don't know yet if it worked. We can close this ticket once we know one way or the other

Edit: We should know more next Monday.

Update: The site is still not crawled, the change needs to be undone.
