Robots.txt on Pressidium
Google enforces a SEO penalty on duplicated content and URLs. Your WordPress site’s staging and production environment are hosted under .dev.onpressidium.com and onpressidium.com with a mapped domain, so this could potentially create problems with SEO.
In order to address this, we restrict all web crawlers from indexing anything that originates from *.onpressidium.com (This includes your staging). We also inject a X-Robots-Tag HTTP header in every response for extra measure.
Only the WordPress site that is mapped on your domain will get indexed, thus allowing you to break things on staging, without any fear of having your SEO score impacted.
