## Descripció

Search Engine Snitch is a lightweight WordPress plugin that monitors your site’s
search engine visibility settings. If you accidentally (or intentionally) block 
search engines from indexing your site, this plugin will send you email alerts to
notify you of the change.

**Key Features:**

 * **Real-time Monitoring:** Continuously monitors your site’s «Discourage search
   engines from indexing this site» setting
 * **Email Notifications:** Sends alerts when search engine visibility is disabled
 * **Admin Bar Indicator:** Shows current visibility status directly in the WordPress
   admin bar
 * **Customizable Frequency:** Choose how often to check visibility (Daily, Weekly,
   Monthly)
 * **Custom Email:** Set custom email addresses for notifications
 * **Cron-based Checks:** Uses WordPress cron for scheduled checks (no performance
   impact)
 * **Lightweight:** Minimal code footprint, no external dependencies

**Why Use Search Engine Snitch?**

Accidentally blocking search engines can have serious consequences for your website’s
SEO and traffic. Common scenarios include:

 * Developers disabling visibility during maintenance and forgetting to re-enable
   it
 * Accidental changes by multiple team members
 * Plugin conflicts that modify visibility settings
 * Testing environments affecting production settings

Search Engine Snitch acts as a safety net, ensuring you’re always aware of your 
site’s search engine visibility status.

### Roadmap

 * Multiple email recipients
 * Visibility history log
 * Instant checks (not just scheduled)
 * Multisite support

### Privacy

This plugin does not:
 * Collect any personal data * Track users * Send data to 
external servers * Store information beyond plugin settings

All data remains on your WordPress installation. The only external communication
is the email notification when triggered.

## PMF

### What does this plugin do?

This plugin monitors your WordPress site’s «Discourage search engines from indexing
this site» setting (found in Settings  Reading). If this setting is enabled (blocking
search engines), the plugin sends email notifications to alert you.

### How often does it check?

You can choose between Daily, Weekly, or Monthly checks. The plugin uses WordPress
cron for scheduled checks.

### Can I use a different email address?

Yes! By default, it uses the site administrator’s email, but you can set any email
address in the plugin settings.

### Will this affect my site’s performance?

No. The plugin uses WordPress cron for scheduled checks, which has minimal performance
impact. The admin bar indicator adds only a few lines of CSS.

### What if my site can’t send emails?

Please ensure your WordPress site is properly configured to send emails (SMTP configuration).
The plugin uses WordPress’s built-in `wp_mail()` function.

### Can I see when the next check is scheduled?

Yes, the next scheduled check time is displayed in the plugin settings page.
