Descrição
Your Google Search Console “Page indexing” report is full of URLs that were crawled but not indexed — and most of them are junk your site never meant to publish: feed URLs, parameter variants, malformed-link artifacts, leftover ad-tech and redirect-plugin endpoints.
Your SEO plugin shows you index status. IndexSweep fixes it:
- Audit — a configuration scan of the junk sources your site exposes right now, plus a content-link scan that finds the sources of junk URLs (like malformed relative links minting ghost pages) inside your posts.
- GSC Import — upload your Search Console export; every URL is classified against a pattern library of real-world junk, with a plain-English explanation and a recommended action. Nothing leaves your server.
- One-click fixes — apply reversible rules: 410 Gone, X-Robots-Tag noindex, or clean-URL redirects. No .htaccess edits, no file changes.
- Full rollback — every rule is one click to remove; every change is logged with hit counts.
Safety first. A resolvable page can never be served a 410 — every destructive rule passes a safety check against your real permalinks, pagination, and archives before it acts. IndexSweep also respects your SEO plugin (Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO) — it never duplicates or overrides their settings.

Instalação

Perguntas frequentes
-
Will this break my site?
-
Every fix is a reversible request-time rule with a full change log. A safety check prevents 410s on any URL that resolves to real content — posts, pages, pagination, date and term archives. Nothing edits your files.
-
Do I need a Google account or API access?
-
No. IndexSweep works entirely from the CSV export you download from Search Console yourself. No OAuth, no API keys, no Google connection.
-
Does this send my data anywhere?
-
No. CSV analysis happens entirely on your server. IndexSweep makes no external requests at all.
-
What if I have Yoast / Rank Math / All in One SEO?
-
Keep it. IndexSweep detects your SEO plugin and stays out of its way — it only handles junk-URL remediation, which SEO plugins don’t do.
-
How do I undo a fix?
-
Tools IndexSweep Rules & Log Roll back. The rule is removed immediately; the change log entry is kept for your records.

0.1.1
- The 410 response now uses the native WordPress error page (wp_die) instead of a custom HTML template, and the filterable message is escaped on output.
- Admin styles and the select-all script are now static files loaded with wp_enqueue_style/wp_enqueue_script (no inline style or script attributes).
- Fixed: a clean-URL redirect for a malformed “//post-slug/” URL now resolves to the canonical article instead of the site home page.
- The affiliate/redirect-endpoints pattern is now clearly marked advisory: its paths (/go/, /refer/, /recommends/) can also be real pages, so it is offered as a robots.txt suggestion instead of a site-wide rule that could noindex live content.
- Fixed: fixing a link now unwraps only the reported anchor, even when the same link appears more than once in the post.
- Fixed: array-style query parameters (?filter[]=red) survive a clean-URL redirect instead of being emptied.
- Fixed: “Restore original link” is now refused after a link has already been restored, preventing a rare content-corruption case.
- Safety: deep single-post pagination (/slug/100/) is now protected from the numeric-suffix redirect; the hit counter only counts requests a rule actually acts on.
- Fixed: fixing or restoring a link no longer strips literal backslashes from the rest of the post (code snippets, Windows paths).
- Fixed: an inapplicable rule no longer stops later rules from acting on the same request, while any rule vetoed by a safety check still shields the page from all remaining rules.
- Safety: term-archive protection now works regardless of language/term filters and matches non-ASCII archive slugs in either encoded or decoded form.
