Prevent .atom Pages from Being Indexed

Partner Discussions

Hi Shopify Support,

We’ve noticed that .atom URLs (e.g., .../collections/swimming-racing-goggles.atom) are being indexed by search engines. We’d like to prevent this from happening.

Could you please advise how to:

  1. Add noindex, nofollow to these pages, or
  2. Block them via robots.txt, or
  3. Remove the <link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml"> tag if possible?

Looking forward to your guidance.

Best regards,
Alinga

Hi Alinga,

This community is not Shopify Support - it’s a forum for developers building with Shopify’s APIs to seek technical assistance when using our developer platform. I did notice there’s a forum post on the merchant forums related to this, with some recommendations: Re: How can I remove .atom urls from my Google Search Console? - Shopify Community
