Hey everyone! I'm working on building a personal portfolio website and I have a couple of concerns about privacy.
First, I want to make sure my website doesn't show up in search results when someone googles my name. I've tried using the robots.txt file and the meta tags with 'no index' and 'no follow', but so far I haven't seen any results. Is it possible that using Google Fonts is affecting this? What else can I do to keep my site hidden?
Second, I'd like to create a private section of my site—maybe just one page that only certain people can access. I'm coding this myself without a CMS, so if there's a way to set up a password protection for a specific page, I'd love some guidance!
Thanks in advance for your help!

The steps you've taken with robots.txt and meta tags are good, but keep in mind that they're just requests to search engines and they might not always work. If you need true privacy, consider putting a login system in place. That way, you can control who accesses your content. It doesn't require extensive knowledge of PHP either; most web servers can help you set this up easily.
Exactly! Adding that login barrier is the way to go. You can share credentials only with people you trust!
