Rule agent.control_no_name · Agent Readiness · 8 occurrence(s)

warning robots.txt-disallowed URL receives internal links (crawl-budget leak)

Rule budget.disallow_linked · Budget · 1 occurrence(s)

  • https://www.elyseaurbach.com/search — internal links point to https://www.elyseaurbach.com/search, which robots.txt disallows for Googlebot — Googlebot discovers the URL, checks robots, then rejects it without indexing, wasting crawl budget and losing the link equity. Remove the internal links, or use noindex instead of Disallow if the page should be fetchable. Linked from: https://www.elyseaurbach.com/, https://www.elyseaurbach.com/ceramics-gallery, https://www.elyseaurbach.com/about-elyse.

Rule canonical.points_to_homepage · Canonical · 1 occurrence(s)

  • https://www.elyseaurbach.com/about-elyse — this interior page canonicalizes to the homepage (https://www.elyseaurbach.com/) — Google will treat the homepage as authoritative and drop this page from search. Point the canonical at the page's own URL.
