From the developer
SiteCare's own description of SiteCare, lightly tidied.
WordPress has one small checkbox – Settings → Reading → “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” – that quietly tells Google and every other search engine to stay away. It’s meant for sites still under construction, and forgetting to switch it off at launch is one of the most common (and most expensive) WordPress mistakes: your new site looks perfect, but weeks pass with no organic traffic because search engines were told not to look.
SiteCare Search Engine Visibility makes that hidden setting impossible to miss. A small eye icon sits in your admin bar on every page:
- Green eye – your site is visible to search engines.
- Red eye – your site is hidden from search engines.
One glance tells you where you stand. And if your site is hidden, you don’t even have to hunt for the setting: a clear warning appears in your dashboard with a one-click “Make my site visible” button that fixes it instantly. There’s nothing to configure, no dashboard to check, and no measurable effect on performance – install it once and never get caught out by that checkbox again.
