GoApp Woo Crawl Guard

A WooCommerce crawl-protection and SEO safety plugin for controlling abusive filter URLs, excessive query combinations and automated request behaviour.

What does it do?

GoApp Woo Crawl Guard protects WooCommerce sites from excessive faceted-filter crawling and automated query abuse that can generate huge numbers of low-value URLs, consume server resources and create SEO problems.

It combines configurable URL sanity checks, search-engine directives, request-rate controls and diagnostics while excluding legitimate administration, AJAX and REST activity.
