The “noindex” tag is a meta tag that can be used in a WordPress website to instruct search engines not to index a specific page or post. This is useful when a page or post contains sensitive information that you don’t want to be accessible in search results, or if a page is still in development and you don’t want it to appear in search results until it’s complete.

It’s important to note that the use of the noindex tag does not guarantee that a page won’t be indexed by search engines, but it’s a strong suggestion that they shouldn’t index it.
