A page in the build that robots.txt does not let Googlebot crawl. The rules are matched the way Google matches them: the agent's own group beats `*`, the longest matching rule wins, `Allow` wins a tie, `*` and `$` work. Such a page cannot be read, so its text, canonical and even its noindex are invisible — it can still be indexed as a bare URL from links. Pages already closed with noindex and a whole-site block (reported once as `robots-blocks-all`) are not repeated here.
The finding reads:
critical robots-blocks-page robots.txt does not let the search engine into the page (rule “Disallow: …”) — it will not read the text; the links and the sitemap lead here for nothingFind the Disallow rule that closes this section and decide: if the section belongs in search, remove the rule; if not, take the pages out of the sitemap and put noindex on them (the engine sees it only if crawling is allowed).
Collapsed when it fires template-wide. If it appears on 90% or more of the pages — or of one language version — of a site with at least 20 pages, it is a property of the template and is reported once, with the count, instead of once per page.
