@abvthecity im not sure hidden pages should be indexed by default; seems less intuitive + would be safer to not index and forcing customers and turn it on |
📦 Next.js Bundle Analysis for fern-platform-monorepoThis analysis was generated by the Next.js Bundle Analysis action. 🤖 🎉 Global Bundle Size Decreased
DetailsThe global bundle is the javascript bundle that loads alongside every page. It is in its own category because its impact is much higher - an increase to its size means that every page on your website loads slower, and a decrease means every page loads faster.

For example, if your budget was 100kb, and a given page's first load size was 10kb, it would be 10% of your budget. You can also see how much this has increased or decreased compared to the base branch of your PR. If this percentage has increased by 20% or more, there will be a red status indicator applied, indicating that special attention should be given to this. If you see "+/- <0.01%" it means that there was a change in bundle size, but it is a trivial enough amount that it can be ignored. |

Reverts changes introduced in #1547 where hidden pages were removed from indexing, and adds comments explaining why.
To clarify:
unlike the behavior set by other docs providers, hidden pages in fern docs ARE indexable, and DO show up in the sitemap. Indexing must be explicitly disabled using
noindex=truein the frontmatter. This is so that fern docs makes fewer assumptions about how SEO is handled, and rely on the docs maintainer to be explicit.
