Does the plugin block search engines?

  • Hi, just wondering if the plugin blocks search engines?
    I have a site that a client wants to delay launching and they are worried about search engines picking up the content.
    I had initially added this plugin to hide the site from viewers but am unsure if it also hides content from search robots.
    Thanks

  • It protects the page view but not file views, meaning if somone has the link to a file from that page, they can assess the file directly. So no, Search Engines would not index the content of your site.

    If this isn’t a security related or loss protection case then the plugin will work fine for you. Meaning: Don’t use it to protect sensitive or premium content.
