X-Robots-Tag declares an informal noai / noimageai preference
The HTTP X-Robots-Tag includes noai and/or noimageai. Google's documented robots directives do not list these as supported Google Search rules; treat them as informal AI-use preferences whose effect depends on a provider choosing to honor them.
Why this matters
This can be a useful preference signal when intentional, but it is not proof of exclusion from AI search, citations, training, image use, or previews. Headers are discovered only after a crawler can access the response, and provider-specific crawler controls are more authoritative where available.
How to fix it
Confirm whether the header is intentional. Remove it if accidental; if deliberate, document the policy and pair it with documented provider-specific controls such as robots.txt rules or Content Signals where relevant. Do not rely on noai or noimageai as universal technical enforcement.
