| 2024-08-26 |  | | en | Save this extension from extinction, Please |
| 2024-06-09 |  | | en | this extension adds an annoying red dotted border box around certain links, when working on websites, this becomes an issue as i just spent the last 3 hours going through my 100+ extensions one at a time to narrow it down. I understand this extension helps with checking robots.txt exclusion, but there was nothing telling me that this was being caused by your extension, you need some type of info next to it, so people know your extension is doing this. Otherwise this extension is great *** Update *** went through the settings and see there is an option called nofollow thats preselected that says highlights in red. I disabled that and the dotted border line is gone. You should really have something either on a highlight or a popup box saying that the dotted border line is being caused by your extention, even did an inspect and couldnt figure out what extension was causing it, looked it up google, and google said it was an accessibility issue. I have rerated this plugin as 5 stars now |

| 2024-05-02 |  | | en | This works, but it is super sticky. I was tuning robots.txt expecting changes to be reflected immediately. Tried clearing caches/cookies and even restarting the webserver. Eventually, I figured out I had to select View Live robots.txt and then disable/enable the extension to get the changes loaded. |

| 2023-06-15 |  | | A great SEO addon which is also one of a few that can inform you of the index status of the page without the need of opening the plugin. It turns red from green automatically so you know what's going on. |
