Website Visibility
In this menu, you can choose whether the website should be published or unpublished.
Select “Published” if you want the site to be available online, visible to the public, and indexed by search engines. A pop-up window will appear, where you must either confirm the publication of the website or cancel.
Select “Unpublished” if you want the site to be inaccessible via the URL, search engines, or similar. Then, click Save at the bottom right.
💡TIP!
When the website is unpublished, its status is always visible regardless of where you are in the “Website” menu in the left-hand sidebar.
At the top of each page in this menu, a message will appear, informing you that the website is currently offline. Through this message, you can also visit the unpublished site or publish it again.
Regardless of whether the website is live or not, and no matter which submenu you are in under Website → Admin panel, you will always be able to see the publication status (Published/Unpublished) at the top right, next to the button for previewing or visiting the website.
Clicking on the status will take you directly to the settings where you can publish or unpublish the website.
⚠️ NOTE!
When you unpublish the site, it is immediately removed from the internet, but it may still appear in Google search results for up to three weeks.
The same applies when you publish the site again. It may take up to three weeks before it becomes visible in search engines, depending on when Google updates its indexing. This process happens automatically and cannot be expedited.
