    Starting from March 29th, I started to receive google crawl errors (500 – internal server errors) when Google tries to crawl my wpcontent/plugins/Jetpack directory. ? I have never seen these errors in google crawl reports before?

    Am I missing something or should I change something from my end?

    Thanks in Advance

    My immediate thought is that Google crawler does not need to crawl your Jetpack folder. For indexing purposes, the crawler should only need to visit URLs that are available publicly. In most cases URLs in the wp-content/plugins folder are not public. You can block the Google crawler using robots.txt.

    If you have a good reason for allowing Google’s crawler to access you plugins folder, and specifically the Jetpack folder, I’d be happy to help you dig a little deeper. Perhaps there’s some configuration on your server that can be changed.

    Thanks. Now I excluded the plug in folder but including only JS and CSS. So far so good. Thanks for your quick reply.
