SEO
A noindex tag tells search engines not to show a page in results. It is set with a robots meta tag or an X-Robots-Tag HTTP header.
It suits pages that should exist but not be found through search, such as thank-you pages, internal search results, and staging sites.
Search engines must be able to crawl a page to see its noindex, so do not also block it in robots.txt.
Example
A form's thank-you page is set to noindex so people cannot land on it from Google without filling in the form.
Why it matters
Noindex keeps low-value pages out of search, and a noindex left on by mistake can remove an entire site from Google.
