    Hello,

    Those pages could be index if you submitted a site map. Otherwise, they might not be found since no links would exist from the home page.

    Should you want Google not to index your staging URL, you can create a robots.txt file as described here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-optimize-your-wordpress-robots-txt-for-seo/ and add this to prevent the search engine from indexing your staging site: https://share.getcloudapp.com/BlupwP95

    Thank you

    but the page “coming soon” is not the futur home page!

    I woould only index the page “coming soon” but not the other page including the futur home page

    If I put this in my robot.txt :

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /

    sitemap:
    domainename

    the futur home page of my website risk to be in the index ?

    Thanks.

    When you enable “coming soon” on the home page only, will that allow search engines to index/recognize and link to the other pages on your site, or will the whole site be blocked from them as if you had the coming soon page activated on the entire site?

    Ans. Those pages could be index if you submitted a site map. Otherwise, they might not be found since no links would exist from the home page.

    I hope that helps.

    In front, actually, only the page coming soon is disponible
    There’s not other pages (the others pages are in production in the back)
    Ans I don’t want index this pages actually, I want index only the page coming soon !
    but it’s indicated the website must to be not privated….
    I would like a solution to auotorize the coing soon page at the search engines but not others pages.

    I hope it’s more clear

    Thanks you very much

    You need to submit a sitemap with your homepage URL only. Other pages will not be found since no links/pages will exist from your site homepage.

    You can use a third-party plugin in submitting a sitemap.

    I hope the above information clarifies.
