Hope you'll update the add on soon. I'm looking forward to some of the suggested features.

OMG many replies here with users don't get what it is you are up against. Check outthis https://xenforo.com/community/resources/xf-bot-guard.10508/ It works, and hopefully the developer will release a much better more advnaced version soon as he promised a few months ago :) This together with...

If a German user visits the German version of a thread and posts a reply in German, will that reply automatically be displayed in English to users browsing the English version of the same thread, and likewise translated into the other enabled languages?

I completely understand your conclusion that Bot Guard is not generating the HTTP 429 responses itself. However, I think we both agree on one important observation: Almost all HTTP 429 responses on my entire origin logs are isolated to /bot-guard/collect. So regardless of where the 429...

Did you check GWT and HOST STATUS as well as the error messages there ? or don't you use Google Webmaster Tools?

Does this work with Sirupo AD's manager paid version ? or can it possible be integrated?

I understand that manually requesting the endpoint returns 405, and I see the same in my browser. My concern is that Google Search Console consistently reports /bot-guard/collect as 5XX over several consecutive days, so something appears to behave differently when Google crawls it.

you're welcome - just send it all by DM

Thanks Anthony. That's exactly what I was trying to determine. If it should return 405 rather than 5XX, then something definitely isn't behaving as expected on my installation. I'll send you the support bundle and all the Search Console screenshots via DM.

Fair enough, let's put the SEO discussion aside for a moment. My primary concern is the technical issue. Google Search Console is reporting a high Server Connectivity failure rate and repeatedly identifies /bot-guard/collect as the affected endpoint. Regardless of whether this ultimately...

I'm not guessing. Since installing XF Bot Guard: Google Crawl Stats show a dramatic spike in crawl activity. Server connectivity errors have increased dramatically. The majority of the reported errors point to /bot-guard/collect. At the same time, Search Console reports the site's Host Status...

Thanks for the reply. I'm not questioning whether Googlebot may request /bot-guard/collect – I understand that it can. My concern is that Google Search Console classifies the responses as Server Errors (5XX) and marks the site's Host Status as unhealthy because of them. If /bot-guard/collect...

I can only advise everyone to be cautious with this add-on. It has completely wrecked my SEO. I've reported everything to the developer via DM, and this urgently needs to be investigated. My Google Search Console Host Errors have exploded.

Increasing the flood limit isn't really an option for us. We intentionally keep those limits in place because we've been dealing with aggressive scraping and automated traffic. The add-on should work within XenForo's default security mechanisms rather than requiring administrators to weaken...

I understand that OpenAI requires the text to be split into chunks. That's not the issue I'm reporting. The issue is that playback stalls while the next chunk is being generated. The page sits in a loading state, playback gets interrupted, and sometimes it even triggers the "wait X seconds"...
