Configuration > Spider > Extraction > Directives
The following directives are configurable to be stored in the SEO Spider.
- Meta Robots
- X-Robots-Tag
Disabling any of the above options from being extracted will mean they will not appear within the SEO Spider interface in respective tabs, columns or filters.
A small amount of memory will be saved from not storing the data.
