It is easy to forget you checked that box in Reading Settings, especially after moving from staging to production. This module keeps you aware with a visible warning, preventing the common mistake of launching a site that search engines cannot find because the setting was left enabled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the setting this warns about?

Settings > Reading > Search Engine Visibility checkbox. Checking it adds noindex to your site.
