Component:  General         |   Keywords:  seo
----------------------------+--------------------
 For templating reasons, header.php and footer.php are able to be directly
 requested (on any path; e.g., https://wordpress.org/footer.php,
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/footer.php).

 When these files are accessed directly, they should set an `x-robots-tag`
 HTTP header, with a value of `noindex, follow`.
