Certificate pages stay out of search results
Public certificate pages now ask search engines not to index them, while remaining reachable by link, QR code, and certificate ID.
A public certificate page is meant to be found by the person holding the link, not by someone searching a recipient's name.
Certificate pages now carry a no-index instruction for search engines. The page still opens from its link, QR code, or certificate ID, and the signature, public record, and any blockchain anchor work exactly as before.
A certificate page carries a recipient's name and achievement. It should be shareable without becoming a permanent search result for that person's name. No-index is a request to well-behaved crawlers, not a privacy guarantee; treat the public page as public to anyone who has the link.
