SavedPixel SEO Shield
Block junk search traffic, harden crawl-facing endpoints, and manage public-request protection rules from one SavedPixel settings page.
What It Does
SavedPixel SEO Shield turns a set of common SEO and crawl-hardening rules into a configurable admin tool. It focuses on public search abuse, tracking-parameter cleanup, opt-in HTTPS enforcement, anonymous rate limiting, XML-RPC shutdown, and anonymous REST restrictions, while keeping a bounded event log of what the shield has blocked.
Key Workflows
- Block spam-style search requests with a configurable regex and return 410 Gone.
- Redirect or noindex normal search requests when public search should not be indexed or exposed.
- Require Google reCAPTCHA for protected search submissions.
- Strip tracking parameters from public URLs and redirect to the cleaned URL.
- Apply endpoint hardening rules such as XML-RPC disable and anonymous REST restriction.
Features
- Spam search blocking with a configurable regex.
- Search-request redirect support for non-junk ?s= requests.
- noindex, follow output for rendered search pages.
- Optional Google reCAPTCHA validation for search submissions when both keys are configured
