Site Audit will flag any pages found to have the Noindex directive under the "Noindex page" issue.

This directive can be found as a meta tag in the <head> section of your page or as an X-Robots tag in the page's HTTP response header. It signals to crawlers and search engines not to index the page.

When should I use "noindex" meta tag?

You should only use this tag on the pages you don't want to appear in search results.

If you want a page to be indexed by search engines, you should remove this tag.

Be sure to also check Google's guidelines on the implementation of this tag here - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93710?hl=en
