A CDN (content delivery network) keeps copies of your pages close to your visitors so the site loads quickly. SEOmise can watch it for you.
Start watching
- Open Modules → MiseGuard → CDN and choose the site.
- Press Start watching. SEOmise first checks that the website is yours: through the SEOmise connector on the site (the WordPress plugin, the Laravel package or the PHP connector), or a TXT record you add at the company that runs your domain's DNS. The page shows the exact name and value to copy.
- Press Check again once the record is in place. DNS changes can take a while to be seen.
Public checks or your CDN account
- Keep public checks only: SEOmise reads what anyone can see (DNS, certificate, cache headers and how fast the site answers). Nothing to connect.
- Connect my CDN account: for Cloudflare or Bunny. Create a token with only the read permissions listed on the page and paste it in. The token is kept encrypted and never shown again. You then get the Traffic, Cache and Security tabs.
The tabs
- Overview: is the site answering, is the certificate in date, and what could be better.
- Traffic and Cache: requests, data sent and how much is served from the CDN's cache, for the period you choose.
- Security: the security status your CDN reports.
- Alerts and History: checks, alerts and changes of the connection.
Let SEOmise in (Cloudflare)
When your site's Cloudflare blocks SEOmise's reader, and the zone is connected here with a separate write token that has Zone → Zone WAF → Edit, the "blocks automated visitors" box on the website audit, the scan panel and Site health offers Let SEOmise in. The workspace's owner or an admin presses it; SEOmise adds one allow rule for SEOmiseBot to this zone only (never "allow all"), through CDN → Changes, where it is recorded and can be undone with one click. A minute later the blocked pages are re-checked. Without a write token, the box links here to connect one, and shows the steps to add the rule yourself. More: When a site blocks SEOmise.
All your websites
MiseGuard → CDN with All sites in the site picker lists every website you watch in one place: whether it answers, whether its certificate is in date and how much is served from the cache. Open a site for its own screens.
The CDN is part of both MiseGuard packages; if your plan does not include it, the tab tells you how to get it.
