Security Overview Summary

Description: A high-level snapshot of your site’s security posture, combining recent events and detected risks into a single view. How it works: AegisShield aggregates module signals (Login Guard, File Integrity, Malware Scan, Security Headers, DB Tools) and recent activity into summary cards so you can spot problems quickly. How to access / configure: WP Admin → AegisShield → Dashboard. Review the overview cards (Score, Alerts, Recent Events). Use the module cards/links to jump directly to the module that needs attention. Recommended setting: Check the Dashboard daily; investigate any new critical alerts immediately.

Description: Allows manual robots.txt directives. Logic: Custom rules are appended after generated rules. Access: WP Admin → AegisSitemap → Robots → Custom Rules. Recommendation: Use only when necessary.

Robots Directory Exclusions

Description: Blocks directories from crawler access. Logic: Disallow rules are generated for each defined path. Access: WP Admin → AegisSitemap → Robots → Excluded Directories. Recommendation: Block admin, search, and temporary paths.

Description: Applies safe default crawl optimizations. Logic: Blocks low-value URLs based on Google best practices. Access: WP Admin → AegisSitemap → Robots → Optimization. Recommendation: Enable on most sites.

Write Physical robots.txt File

Description: Writes a robots.txt file to the site root. Logic: A physical file is created when filesystem permissions allow. Access: WP Admin → AegisSitemap → Robots → Write robots.txt. Recommendation: Enable for maximum crawler compatibility.

Enable Robots.txt Management

Description: Enables robots.txt control inside WordPress. Logic: Robots rules are generated dynamically and served virtually or physically. Access: WP Admin → AegisSitemap → Robots → Enable Robots. Recommendation: Enable unless managed externally.

Ping Search Engines on Publish

Description: Automatically notifies search engines when content is updated. Logic: Sitemap ping requests are sent to supported engines. Access: WP Admin → AegisSitemap → Sitemap → Ping on Publish. Recommendation: Enable for faster indexing.

Description: Controls which taxonomies are indexed. Logic: Selected taxonomies generate their own sitemap endpoints. Access: WP Admin → AegisSitemap → Sitemap → Taxonomies. Recommendation: Exclude unused or duplicate taxonomies.

Description: Controls which post types appear in sitemaps. Logic: Only selected post types are queried and included. Access: WP Admin → AegisSitemap → Sitemap → Post Types. Recommendation: Exclude thin or low-value post types.

Description: Excludes specific URL paths from sitemap output. Logic: Any URL containing a defined fragment is skipped during sitemap generation. Access: WP Admin → AegisSitemap → Sitemap → Folder Exclusions. Recommendation: Exclude private, duplicate, or temporary paths.
