Awstats (Cpanel) showing that people are accessing this page on my forum (37656 hits so far in this month) https://mydomain.com/forum/offline/

Looks like robots are getting that page and displaying some users. Then users are stock in that page.... Weird

I do replicate the link and got below screenshot...

My board is not offline nor turned offline lately. 

I am not offline, nor internet is down... 

Could contain: Page, Text, Paper

I have tested same URL here https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/offline

I got this:

I am using invision standart robot.txt

What would be the reason for this????

That doesnt actually look to be a page of ours, so unfortunately there isnt an answer I can give you on that one.

Apparently this is indeed one of ours (my apologies). Its part of the service worker and displays if it cannot connect to the server at that point in time. Its part of PWA.

So why is available to public and robots all the time????

I have tagged developers who are better placed to answer the question there. However even to give a no permission error, the location would need to be accessable

here on IPB main side result for same link

Could contain: File, Webpage, Page, Text

https://invisioncommunity.com/offline

You appear to have the wrong URL. 😉  I just checked my own community and have confirmed that domain.com/offline exists and has seen hits. 

I also see that page if I turn off networking, etc.

It's completely normal and part of the Progressive Web App. The service worker periodically downloads the offline page so it can be displayed if the device loses an internet connection or the community is unreachable.

Do I understand correctly that it is better to close this page in robots.txt or .htaccess ?

We're going to add a noindex meta tag to this page, so it won't be indexed anymore with a future release.

Good news Thank you....
