I saw the notice, didn't realize the deadline was this soon though.
I'll have to come up with another technique - polyfill would never trigger since this is sent as an XML content type which wouldn't trigger the JS.

A shame that www.wunsch.dk/sitemap.xml will deprecate though.

Games broke atm, my first version put the game data in the actual sitemap, and GSC didn't like that, so I made the sitemap more compliant, but need to fix the game.

But at what pace will they ban the next round of abusers? They need to prove it’s properly and quickly enforced - otherwise these parasites will just keep signing deals with new sites.

Right now this feels like they’re trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon.

Anything particular in this that is wave only, or would this work with any RIFF container based files?

Thanks :)

This particular project is on static hosting, so 429s based on redirects is what we’ll try then.

I love how Microsoft’s billing strings on your account matches the invoice. This makes it easier to match up receipts.

It’s crazy that all they had to do to get out of the penalty was to hide the pages from manual reviewers.

Same time, chrome browsers are reporting the pages as still up into the CrUX reporting tools.

The offending pages are still indexed even.

It can’t be this easy @searchliaison.bsky.social ?

Whichever course has to be taken to secure the future of the project, I only hope it can be accomplished without fracturing the community. But I agree something needs to be done.

They did provide Extended Validation Certificates though.

Today there’s no easy way to know if you’re on the site of a legit business, or chinese dropshipper.

Couldn't agree more:

"While domain authority outranks all, efforts to combat parasite SEO will just be pushing water uphill. Only the restoration of algorithmic respect for topical authority, eroded since the ‘helpful content’ update, will actually change the landscape."

I wish the performance team could somehow address that so much cpu is wasted by doing full page builds on every single request.
It would be the biggest environmental win for WP ever.

I can’t help but think about how Drupal 6 was the newcomer, and people leaving Wordpress for it.

D7 was even better, but then Drupal 8 effectively managed to stop the progress: They redid the technical platform, while sacrificing user experience in the process.
