The Yoast Crawl optimization options and most specifically the Internal site search cleanup options go some way to helping the issue. However, if possible we would like to go further.
Our primary goal at the moment relates to Yoast’s automatic redirection of filtered/blocked searchs to 301 redirect to our homepage. We wondered if it might be possible to specifiy the redirect page in these instances? We ask because one option may be to redirect to “blackhole” page and then potentially block their IP based on visiting that “blackhole” page; something easily achieved using Wordfence.
This would vastly reduce the number of spam requests hitting the server. Right now, allowing these requests to respond with any page, be it the search results page, our homepage or 404 page:
1) Uses valuable server resources (300k+ requests)
2) May potentially skew Google Analytics (300k + visits to our homepage)
3) Continue to use Google Crawl budget. Despite not being indexed, our understanding is they still have considerable impact on Google Crawl Budget. We’d like to try prevent/reduce this impact if possible.
N.B. as a side note it would be nice to have a some transparency around the “common spam patterns” setting in Yoast to better understand what that filter might be doing? ]]>
This was a lot of work to even out and now it’s useless??
Plz help, thx!
Top example is when I ask the plugin to not add noopener and noreferrer to internal links. Bottom example is when I try to exclude them by adding them as exceptions:

The plugin/site info is from when I had it setup like in the first example. Thanks in advance for your help.

);I’ve searched and read through other threads on internal links, some had similar issues and I’ve worked through the troubleshooting/solutions suggested on those posts, but still can’t seem to get these links to work.
I’m new to website building and have just created this site for a friend. It’s my first site and I’m still learning.
Can anyone please help point me in the right direction so I can understand what I’ve done wrong with these two links, please?
Many thanks in advance.
]]>Hello guys,
I’m using the classic editor because I find it more practical. However, there is a problem that many sites with a large database like ours must have in the slowness when using the internal link search feature. Gutenberg works very well in this regard. I’ve already tried to limit the search only by words in the title of the posts to improve performance through code in functions.php, but it only worked for the frontend, thus serving only the search made by readers in searches on public pages, it had no effect on the search built-in classic editor. Is there any way to improve the performance of this function? I hope they can help me in some way. Thanks.

]]>I have tried deactivating other plugins and testing having WPGive active with the other plugins installed, but the issue only occurs when GiveWP is active at the same time as Contact Form 7 or WPForms.
Is GiveWP incompatible with Contact From 7 and WPForms or other forms plugins? Could there be a setting in GiveWP that I need to configure to avoid this issue?
All plugins, including themes and WordPress installation are up to date as of time of writing. ]]>
Cheers!
