Intermittent issues can be more difficult to troubleshoot because the conditions causing the block may not always be present. For instance, in the GSC robots. The Wayback Machine on archive. You can click on any of the dates they have data for and see what the file included on that particular day. Or use the beta version of the Changes report, which lets you easily see content changes between two different versions.
The process for fixing intermittent blocks will depend on what is causing the issue. For example, one possible cause would be a shared cache between a test environment and a live environment. When the cache from the test environment is active, the robots. And when the cache from the live environment is active, the site may be crawlable.
This would tell Google to stop crawling this specific path. You may still see your pages in the search results, but Google will display the wrong title and have a meta description that reads "No information is available for this page.
Disallowing a page s via Robots. Luckily, there's a simple fix for this error. All you have to do is update your robots. You can test these changes using the Robots.

By default, there are no restrictions for crawling for the designated crawlers. Crawlers ignore directives without a [path]. The [path] value, if specified, is relative to the root of the website from where the robots. Learn more about URL matching based on path values.
The user-agent line identifies which crawler rules apply to. See Google's crawlers and user-agent strings for a comprehensive list of user-agent strings you can use in your robots.
The value of the user-agent line is case-insensitive. The disallow directive specifies paths that must not be accessed by the crawlers identified by the user-agent line the disallow directive is grouped with.
Crawlers ignore the directive without a path. The value of the disallow directive is case-sensitive. The allow directive specifies paths that may be accessed by the designated crawlers. When no path is specified, the directive is ignored. Google, Bing, and other major search engines support the sitemap field in robots. The [absoluteURL] line points to the location of a sitemap or sitemap index file. The URL doesn't have to be on the same host as the robots.
You can specify multiple sitemap fields. The sitemap field isn't tied to any specific user agent and may be followed by all crawlers, provided it isn't disallowed for crawling. You can group together rules that apply to multiple user agents by repeating user-agent lines for each crawler. For the technical description of a group, see section 2. Only one group is valid for a particular crawler. Google's crawlers determine the correct group of rules by finding in the robots.
Other groups are ignored. The order of the groups within the robots. If there's more than one specific group declared for a user agent, all the rules from the groups applicable to the specific user agent are combined internally into a single group.
If there are multiple groups in a robots. For example:. Rules other than allow , disallow , and user-agent are ignored by the robots. This means that the following robots.
