How to prevent AEM from adding meta tag "keywords"?

Hi All,

 

I'm not sure what is adding a meta tag to all pages based on that page's tags some, something like this:

<meta name="keywords" content="Blogs,Workplace Security">

 

The problem is that, we are not adding this in our code, in fact we are overriding the head.html for all templates.This tag is only added on the AEMaaCS instances and not on local environments. Also, the tag is not inserted by JavaScript on the client side.

 

Does anybody have any idea where to look for this?

Hi @ReneDa,

This meta tag comes from the page tags set in Page Properties (Basic tab).

When a page has cq:tags assigned, the default Page component (both foundation and Core Components) will automatically render a

<meta name="keywords" content="...">

element in the page head. The values are taken directly from the page’s tags and concatenated into a comma-separated list.

Hi @ReneDa 

If you are using core components then it is added from /libs/core/wcm/components/page/v3/page/head.html

you have to overlay the head.html in your page component in order to adjust htl.
