editSEO question: preventing Google from caching.
editIs there a code you can put at the top of a .html page to tell Google not to cache the page, into their search engine? (Just that page, not the rest of the site.). 67.165.185.178 (talk) 23:48, 11 November 2022 (UTC).

- That prevents the entire site. Or the folder that it's in. 67.165.185.178 (talk) 01:33, 12 November 2022 (UTC).

Okay, so it looks like just add <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">. So thing is, I probably will make 2 identical .html pages, in different domain name websites. If Google comes across both of them, both will probably be hit in SEO, or 1 of them? I wonder if this will work. Will the page that does not have this code, also be hit badly in search? 67.165.185.178 (talk) 09:58, 12 November 2022 (UTC).
