Hi there,

I have been using R Shiny IO server for 6 months and lately I tried to google my website but to no avail.

Another thing I tried is to copy and paste the whole link in the google search box. However, google cannot find any match.

I was wondering if R Shiny web applications have ever been indexed by google search engine?

Thank you!

Cheers,

Andrea

Are you using shinyapps.io? It's possible that rstudio explicitly made sure google does not index shinyapps apps. If you install shiny server yourself, google should be able to crawl it

Thank you so much, Dean Attali!

Yes, I have been using the free version https://www.shinyapps.io/

Can you get search indexing working on shinyapps.io or do you have to go for shiny server for that?
