Meta Title is the name of your page displayed in the browser tab and search engine results. Make sure to use unique titles for each of your website pages. Check out this SEO Optimization guide for further information.
Meta Description is the text field under Meta Title, it describes what the page is about and can help you attract more visitors from the organic search.
The Canonical URL is the URL of your website page that should be considered official or primary when there are multiple pages with similar or duplicate content. This helps prevent issues with duplicate content and ensures that search engines know which page to prioritize in search results.
No-Index - If enabled, it tells search engines not to include a specific page in search results.
No-follow - if enabled, tells search engines not to follow the links on a page. This means that search engines won't pass on any ranking value (or "link juice") to the linked pages. It's often used for paid or sponsored links so they don't affect search rankings.
Hide Canonical - If enabled, the attribute rel="canonical" will be removed from the current page.
