Google does not have access to .js file

Hello,

I have just checked your website and there are two JS files called “password-strength-meter.min.js”: one from wp-admin/js and another one from wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/assets/js/frontend

Since you have your robots.txt blocking every request from /wp-admin/*, it is normal ryte.com is telling you the file is blocked.

But usually you should have blocked in your robots.txt the /wp-admin/* directories (you don’t want it to be indexed) so you have two options:

• To move the file to another place like in wp-content. But it can be complicated, since it could generate several issues if another file depends on it
• To allow that specific file in your robots.txt meanwhile disallowing any other in wp-admin/*

To do the second option, you have to edit your robots.txt in the Rank Math plugin just as I show you in the following screenshot:

I have added below how your robots.txt should be after the edition:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
Allow: /wp-admin/js/password-strength-meter.min.js
