.public.blob.vercel-storage.com robots.txt blocking google indexing

Vercel’s public.blob.vercel-storage.com domain — used for hosting images via Vercel Blob — is currently blocking Googlebot via its robots.txt. This prevents images hosted on Vercel Blob from being crawled or indexed by Google, including Google Images.


I have no control over this on my robots.txt - why does vercel block images from being index’d?

Hi @thederpywhale-hotmai, welcome to the Vercel Community!

By default, the blob stores don’t have any robots.txt. The URL you shared is from v0, which has the robots.txt limitation.

To solve this issue, I’d suggest you to create a Blob integration from your v0 chat and store the assets in that. This way, you’ll not have to deal with robots.txt.

I hope this was helpful.
