The Open Google Bot plugin helps protect your valuable content by verifying the authenticity of incoming requests. It leverages Google's recommended method: a double DNS lookup to confirm that the IP address making the request actually belongs to Googlebot. This prevents simple user-agent spoofing and ensures that only legitimate Google crawlers can access specific sections of your site.

Features

  • Googlebot Verification: Accurately identifies Googlebot requests using a double DNS lookup.
  • Craft CMS Integration: Seamlessly integrates with your Craft CMS project via Twig variables.
  • Caching: Implements caching for IP lookups to improve performance.
