Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to prevent some sites to be indexed by search engines.

Describe the solution you'd like
A checkbox to prevent a site being indexed or the option to add custom headers like: add_header X-Robots-Tag "noindex, nofollow, nosnippet, noarchive";

Describe alternatives you've considered
Adding the header by adding a location block in the custom configuration but it requires me to write my own location block configuration. That I don't understand completely I think because I can't load some sites afterwards.

location / {
    proxy_pass http://192.168.2.10:8123;
    add_header  X-Robots-Tag "noindex, nofollow, nosnippet, noarchive";
}

Additional context
I hope is is possible to add this feature and I think a lot of people are interested in it.
