Mobile Google Bots

    I read older topic mentioning about Google Bots and how check the Firewall about it.
    Before installing Wordfence, my website had absolutely no errors on Google Search console, but after that it wasn’t able to load some JS and CSS scripts, giving me errors about page too wide for mobile.

    Then after reading the topic I tried changing the Firewall option “How should we treat Google’s crawlers” from:

    “Verified Google crawlers have unlimited access to this site”
    to:
    “Anyone claiming to be Google has unlimited access”

    And it fixed the error.
    As I know Google recently added an Mobile Bot update, so my question is if Wordfence is already fixed for this?

    Thank you,
    Pedro.

    Hi @ppribeiro,

    We have had some issues with the detection of Google bots. One of the main reasons was that sites were not obtaining the correct IP address so the bot would always be flagged as a fake crawler.

    I’ve spoken with the team, and this is on the list of things they are fixing.

    Hi Dave,

    Okay, so do you think this solution I took is the best for now?

    Thank you very much,
