    Yo hi,

    There are a few websites same as https://scanwp.net/ where people can check what kind of plugins or theme the website is using.

    Is there a way to block such scans for getting indexed?

    Thanks for your input.

    Regards
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel,
    Thank you for the question.
    There is not much you can do about it. You may use a plugin like this
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/hide-my-wp/

    It may have some issues with the setup. My suggestion will be to asses if it is worth the time/security and use if needed.

    Regards

    Hi Brajesh,

    Thanks for the input, it could certainly be a solution. Although, same as you say, I have experienced a lot of side effect issues with such plugins.

    I will try differently with creating a firewall to certain folders.

    Thanks anyways.

    Regards
    Daniel
