  I have a page which I have made private and I have purged the cache and I have cleared my browsing cache and the page still shows on the Google search. How do I stop this without deleting the page?

  I don’t have a site linked to this WordPress.com account

  Hello there,

  Many thanks for reaching out.

  I have a page which I have made private and I have purged the cache and I have cleared my browsing cache and the page still shows on the Google search. How do I stop this without deleting the page?

  If the site has been made private, it means that Google wouldn’t be able to access the page.

  That said, you would need to wait for Google to re-crawl the site and this will eventually drop from search results.
