Example: You've launched a recipe collection iran number whatsapp and want to use categories to differentiate different types of cuisines.
Tags are smaller and usually focused on specific topics.
Example: A recipe may contain the tags parmesan, pasta, and butter.
Tags are rarely useful to users who are not already on your site. From an SEO perspective, these pages rarely offer anything of value, and you generally do not want these pages to be indexed and sending traffic from Google (the quality of the traffic is low).
And the same goes for media pages and other post formats used by WordPress. Typically, you don't want these to be indexed by Google, and you can add "noindex" tags directly from Yoast.
Go to: SEO > Search Appearance > Taxonomies
Here you can choose whether or not to show the taxonomy type in search results.
Be sure to select “no” for any taxonomies, content types, or archives (located in another tab) that you do not want Google to index.
Here, as another note: go to the "Media" tab and make sure that the "Redirect attachment URLs to the attachment itself?" option is set to yes, as this helps prevent an issue that occurred on Yoast in 2018 where individual attachment URLs were being indexed.
