Hi There. I have been using Ecwid now for about 1.5 years and really like it. I do not use the starter site you provide. I instead use my own hosting with your script plugged into my index.html file. I dont even use a CMS, just a simple setup. Regardless, I have enabled long ago the NoIndexSS app so that my starter site is not indexed, and that seems to be working just fine. Here is my question though. I am trying to cleanup my GTMetrix/Google scores etc, and was wondering if I could host the noindexSS.js file on my own server locally? It looks like the code is:

Ecwid.isStarterSiteIdPresent = function(element, cls) {
return (document.querySelector(cls)) !== null;
}

Ecwid.checkAndAddMetaNoIndex = function(){
var body = document.getElementById("ecwid_body");
var ids = ['#ecwid-starter-site-links'];

var e = document.createElement('meta');
e.setAttribute('name','robots');
e.setAttribute('content','noindex, nofollow');
e.setAttribute('id','noIndexApp');

for(var i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) {
if(Ecwid.isStarterSiteIdPresent(body, ids[i]) && document.getElementById('noIndexApp') == null) {
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(e);
}
}
}

setTimeout(Ecwid.checkAndAddMetaNoIndex,50);

Can I just add that js code to my server and host it locally and turn off the app in Ecwid? Would my site starter site still be removed from indexing as I do need it to be? Or will doing this create a problem? Thanks for any thoughts you can provide!

Hello there,

This is Wendy from Ecwid team. Thanks a lot for getting in touch.

Yes, you can host the file with the script on your server. In order to connect this .js file to your Ecwid starter site, you can add a tag to your Ecwid Admin > Website page > “Header meta tags and site verification” section.

The tag will look like this:

<script src="https://online-store.site/script.js"></script>

where https://online-store.site/script.js is a direct link to the .js file on your server.

Hope this helps. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask!
