Use when auditing a site for indexability issues, investigating why pages appear in Google's index that should be excluded (or vice versa), or reviewing robots.txt and meta robots configurations for consistency.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Avoid conflicting indexability signals Conflicting indexability directives create unpredictable crawling and indexing behaviour. The most dangerous combination is robots.txt blocking a page that also has a `noindex` tag — the `noindex` is never read, but the URL is still known to Google, leaving it in a limbo state that wastes crawl budget. ## Quick Reference - robots.txt blocks crawling; `noindex` blocks indexing — they are different mechanisms and should not be applied together - A page blocked in robots.txt cannot receive a `noindex` directive because crawlers never read the page - Canonical tags pointing to a `noindex` page create an unresolvable conflict — canonicalise to an indexable URL instead ## Check …

How to install
mdr add thedaviddias/front-end-checklist/indexability-conflicts@sha256:7b684a99ca38c331The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.4b0ddb9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
