I'm having an issue where several pages on a Shopify solution cannot be indexed by Google, due to meta robots should be set to noindex - but it's not. There no robots meta tag (defaults to index), and there is no x-robots tag as well. Any suggestions here?

@Dennisslj What's the URL? (generally speaking, not everything gets indexed though)

@johnmu many URLs on empirecycling.dk, like https://empirecycling.dk/collections/castelli, https://empirecycling.dk/collections/cykeljakker etc.They have been indexed and ranked fine until recently, but seems like a bug in Shopify perhaps.

@Dennisslj We get redirected to URLs like https://empirecycling.dk/collections/castelli?view=boost-pfs-original which have the noindex on them. Not sure what that URL is for, I don't see it happening in a browser.

@johnmu Oh, then it makes sense. Now I just have to figure out why Googlebot is being redirected, when everyone(?) else dont. Thanks a lot!
