Page Settings

Setting your Page Title, Description and Keywords can help search engines figure out how your site should appear in their results.You can set up your Page Settings for each page you create, and we suggest you do so to make sure your pages are indexed by search engines as accurate as possible. 
Here is how the fields you fill out compare to actual search engine results of that page.


Robots

Want to work on a page but don’t want it to show up in Search Engines? Not a problem, when you go to publish your page just check the “Robots: Do not allow this page to be indexed by robots” option before you hit publish. You can do this on a page by page level, allowing you to control what search engines see and what they index.

Require Password to View Page

Every once in a while there is a need to publish something on the internet while restricting who has access to see it. While our Robots option will hide the page from being saved by Search Engines it does mean that anyone who clicks something to go to that page can see it. In order to restrict who can see a page you publish you can use the “Require Password to View Page” option. Clicking this box (under Page Settings) will allow you to set a page password. When users arrive on that page they will have to enter the password (you do not need to enter a username) in order to view the page. So just click to activate password protecting, enter the password and hit save.
