About these references
Each page is a fast table you can scan or filter: which meta tags Google uses and which it ignores, every robots meta rule, the schema.org types that can still earn rich results, how Google treats each HTTP status code, the AI crawler tokens operators publish, hreflang language and region codes, and a plain-English SEO glossary. Content follows primary sources (Google Search Central, RFC 9309, schema.org, ISO code lists and each crawler operator's own documentation) and links to the tool that does the job.
