What are the meta robots advanced settings?

By default, the field under Meta robots advanced is empty, which means that the default settings are followed. So, if your site-wide default is set to index/follow, it should be equivalent to index/follow. You can also select different options.

No image index

If you select No image index, you disallow search engines from crawling images on your page or post.

No archive

If you select No archive, you prevent search engines from showing a cached copy of the page.

No snippet

If you select No snippet, you prevent the search engines from showing a snippet of this page in the search results. It also prevents search engines from caching the page.
