"Membership Success" Page Indexed and Unrestricted

AlphaKiloDelta opened this issue · 3 comments

Hello,

Is this page intended to be indexed and unrestricted? You would expect only newly registered members to be directed to a page saying "Thank you for becoming a member", however this page is indexed on all major search engines and can be accessed by anyone.

The web team may want to add a robots meta tag with the noindex value to this page, and disallow it in the robots.txt file (if the site has one). May also want to ensure that non-newly registered members accessing the path are redirected to the homepage instead.

Not so much a concern, just an optimisation which could be made.

Thank you.

Thank you for letting us know. I'll get Harold to have a look.

I have made a PR here #290 where I updated the robots.txt file
Its my first contribution towards big organizations so looking forward towards it!
