New Robots Meta Tags
-
Hello,
I activated the copyright statements for snippets and images.
This is the Meta Tag generated from SEO Framework:
<meta name=”robots” content=”max-snippet-length=50,max-image-preview=large,max-video-preview=0″ />
This is the example from Google:
<meta name=”robots” content=”max-snippet:50, max-image-preview:large”>
SEO Framework use = (equal) instead of : (colon) and max-snippet-length instead of max-sipped.
Why? And is the code also correct?
The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Thank you for the report! You have a keen eye 😉
I just tested the 50 character-limit you have on your site, and it works as intended! You can test it yourself by performing this site query on Google Search:
site:https://example.com/(Change example.com to your site.)
You should see a few pages pop up with the 50-character limited descriptions. Google trims the snippets on a whitespace/punctuation below or on that limit.
This issue is an inconsistency with the standard. So, thanks to my monkey brain, because it was a rushed feature, I went for the default. I’ll amend it with the next update to alleviate future issues. Although, luckily, everything works as intended now (phew).
Thank you for sticking with us for a few years already!
Some other info
I conducted some more investigating, and it seems that the directive also limits the meta description tag. I did not expect this, and I doubt many others did, too.So, I’m also going to add a warning next to the option (or inside the tooltip) to make that clear.
