      Hi,

      How long is the delay to de-rank once you remove everything from a page ?

      Thank you,

        Hey seoanalytics,

        If you are willing to remove from Google's index just a bunch of pages, you can use the URL removal tool(link)
        The fastest way to remove a page from Google is by returning HTTP410 status code.
        If you cant do that, then using a robots noindex tag either in the HTML or in the HTTP header will work.

        Keep in mind that you should not be blocking crawling on robots.txt.

        More information about controlling indexation:

        • Official resource about indexing: Block search indexing with 'noindex' - Search Console Help

        Hope it helps.
        Best luck.
        Gaston
