Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Multisite search visibility indicator version 1.0.0 as active, updated 17d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Multisite search visibility indicator is a lightweight plugin that keeps you informed at a glance whether your site — or any site in your network — is accidentally blocking search engines.
WordPress has a built-in setting under Settings → Reading called “Search Engine Visibility”. When enabled, it adds a noindex directive that tells search engines not to index your site. This is easy to accidentally leave on after development, and notoriously hard to notice.
This plugin adds a persistent indicator to the WordPress toolbar so you never miss it again.
Features
Toolbar indicator visible to administrators at all times (front-end and back-end)
Color-coded status: green when search engines are allowed, yellow/red when blocked
Multisite ready: shows a per-site breakdown across your entire network
Each site in the dropdown links directly to its Reading Settings for a one-click fix
Bulk management page (Multisite only): allow or discourage search engines across all — or selected — sites in a single action
Zero configuration required — install and it just works
No external dependencies, no tracking, no bloat
Multisite Bulk Management
On a Multisite installation the plugin adds a Search Engine Visibility page under Network Admin → Settings. From there you can:
See every site in the network and its current visibility status
Select individual sites or all sites at once
Apply “Allow search engines” or “Discourage search engines” in one click
Who is this for?
Agencies managing WordPress Multisite networks
Developers who frequently spin up and hand off sites
