When convenient

Search engines are allowed to index everything on your site

This is the exact wording EverThread uses when it finds this on a customer's site, written for someone who runs a business, not a server. The example site here is yourbakery.com.

What we saw

Your robots.txt exists but blocks nothing.

Why it matters

Login pages, admin areas and search-result pages end up in Google, which is where attackers go looking for them.

How to fix it

Ask your developer to add Disallow lines for admin, login and account pages.

For your developer

robots.txt has zero Disallow rules. Add rules for /wp-admin, /admin, /login, /account, internal search, etc.
